The mother of ‘Britain’s biggest family’, who has 22 children, has been blasted for a ‘tone deaf’ rant about her holiday to Dubai being cancelled – as conflict in the Middle East has entered its sixth day today.

Sue Radford, 50, sparked outrage as she took to Instagram to share her grievances, revealing that her daughter and son had gifted her and her husband Noel a weekend away to the popular UAE city, and they were planning to fly on Wednesday. 

However, this has been disrupted – as Israel and Iran continue to launch new strikes, leaving foreign nationals scrambling to evacuate the war zones. 

‘Anyway hands up who’s been having a nightmare with travelup1 because I think there’s going to be lots of you,’ she wrote.

‘Phone line’s dead so guessing they have turned them off and no response from them to emails I have commented on their Insta page but all of our comments have been deleted… and there been lots from very unhappy customers.’

Sue – who says she has since heard back from the travel company – admitted that ‘she knows we are safe in this country but even if you wanted to rebook you can’t because they aren’t dealing with it’.

She stressed that ‘the point of this post is that we do not want to rebook I would imagine lots wouldn’t but this company switching phones off is not the way to go about it’.

However, commenters were still horrified by the post, as ‘people are dying’.

‘Others are hiding in hotel rooms/basements,’ one continued. ‘And the rest are stranded with many fearing for their lives. Your holiday dues not matter right now. 

‘Your refund/swap is not the priority. You should have travel insurance and be Atol/Abta protected – you’ll get your money. For now just sit tight and be.’ 

‘Maybe think of the people living out there right now,’ another added. 

A third wrote: ‘All you can think about is holidays when there is a war on? Unbelievable.’

‘How insensitive to those who are currently fearing for their lives,’ another commented. ‘People have died, a war is going on and you’re moaning because you can’t book a holiday to Dubai??’

One also remarked: ‘Hmm very egocentric post this one is. Think off all the stranded people over there. Pfft!’

Others assured Sue ‘not to stress’ as it will ‘all get sorted’ and she is ‘safe here at home’. 

One also suggested: ‘Oh no, I think you need to totally give up on Dubai. I’ve been there and to be honest, it’s so overrated, unless your rich people our age are just out of place there.

‘It really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Go to New York for 5 days it’s amazing we loved it.’

In the past year alone, Sue and her family enjoyed at least eight holidays to Lapland, Italy, the Caribbean, Florida, Paris – and indeed, Dubai.

The civilian race to escape the Middle East descended into farce today as British nationals were delayed from returning home when the UK’s first evacuation flight failed to take off from Oman.

Terrified passengers were said to be smashing on windows and having panic attacks as they sat helplessly on the plane on the tarmac in Muscat. One described the ordeal as a ‘total s***show’.

It had been scheduled to depart from the Omani capital at 11pm GST on Wednesday, but could not ‘due to the pilot’s hours clocking up’.

The Foreign Office this morning told the Daily Mail the flight failed to take off due to ‘technical issues’ but insisted it would take off later today.

General Sir Richard Barrons said that Britain’s relationship with the US would be strained because the UK had ‘not turned up when they asked in the way that they asked’.

And he said that Sir Keir’s slowness in responding to Iranian attacks on RAF Akrotiri and close to other assets in the Gulf States might leave them to ‘wonder if the UK actually has the muscle to apply in situations like this in the way that in former times we clearly did’.

He spoke to the BBC in the midst of furious political rows over Sir Keir’s reaction to Donald Trump’s decision to start a war with Iran.

The UK has refused to join in the assault on Tehran, though Sir Keir has allowed the US to use its bases in Britain for defensive operations.
