The fashion designers post rails against UK government plans to issue temporary visas to lorry drivers to attract them to the UK.

The Great British Sewing Bee judge said: What makes us think that EU lorry drivers are going to pack in their secure well-paid jobs, leave their friends and family, and move to Britain for a job they'll lose in three months time?

In view of his 65,300 followers, the judge tweeted and received a few charged responses.

@Missymusician81 said: Im going to say blind arrogance, conceit & the hangover of an empirical superiority complex.

The same reason we thought we would be perfectly ok to screw around with the EU on Brexit negations.

The same reason our covid deaths have been so extreme. Look to the leaders.

@Click_Write also explained that they thought the UK government was criminally corrupt and inept and that anyone still in this country is desperate, also agreeing with the fashion designer.

The project is called Homegrown Homespun.

The initiative aims to revive Blackburns textile industry, by producing linen clothes locally - this includes growing the flax and making the garments.
