The immigration minister says we must not elevate the well-being of illegal migrants above those of the British people

Speaking at the House of Commons, he revealed plans that would place migrants in military bases, barges and ferries, while they wait for a decision on their application.

Currently £6.8 million per day is being spent on hotel accommodation.

Streatham Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy says the plans are “increasingly cruel and costly”.

She’s calling for the government to “speed up claims, give people the right to work, and let them rebuild their lives in our communities.”
