Man with £2 million mansion commits to housing people on boats.
Only a matter of time before they start shipping them to Australia for stealing bread.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In his first interview since returning from a summer holiday in the United States, Mr Sunak was asked whether he was personally warned about potential health risks for asylum seekers on board the Bibby Stockholm.
The Home Office says that by the autumn, they aim to house about 3,000 asylum seekers in places that are not hotels - such as the barge, and former military sites Wethersfield, in Essex, and Scampton, in Lincolnshire.
Asylum applications have increased in the last couple of years, with the backlog of cases rising to more than 172,000 people, according to the latest Home Office figures.
Mr Sunak has pushed for a bilateral returns agreement with France, but President Emmanuel Macron believes any deal must be at an EU level.
A leaked memo reported by the two newspapers suggests such a pact is not being entertained by the EU, which is dealing with its own internal rows over migration and refugee returns reforms.
The Daily Mail says it has seen an internal British government memo which describes the outcome of the meeting between National Security Adviser Sir Tim Barrow and Bjoern Seibert - the head of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s cabinet.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
What a barge to die on Rishi.
