Brit Award-winning pop star Dua Lipa has stated the way in which ministers focus on migrants is “short sighted and small minded”.

The 27-year-old, born in London to Kosovar-Albanian mother and father, known as for “more empathy” and stated she’d been “hurt” by the way in which the federal government had mentioned Albanian individuals.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman has beforehand spoken of “Albanian criminals” crossing the Channel and likened the inflow of small boats to an “invasion”.

“Of course it hurt,” Lipa stated in an interview.

“All these phrases thrown round about immigrants? I at all times felt London was an amalgamation of cultures. It is integral to town.

“So when you hear the government talk about Albanians, for example, it hurts. It’s short sighted and small minded, but it’s the way a lot of people think,” she advised The Sunday Times.

She stated the rhetoric that “immigrants are coming into the country and taking jobs” will at all times exist, regardless of many having come to London and “earned their keep by working incredibly hard”.

Ms Braverman’s feedback have been known as “very, very disgraceful” by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.

During a gathering with Rishi Sunak in March, Mr Rama cited Lipa for instance of the optimistic issues that Albanian individuals convey to Britain.

He stated: “Dua Lipa is not just simply a British singer, but she’s an Albanian immigrant that has come here, as many have come, to construct, to nurse, to cook and to sing for you, and we want to make sure that this community feels not only safe but feels honoured here.”
