Date:

The government has been criticised for its handling of the Channel migrant crisis. It has been accused of not doing enough to stop the crossings and of failing to provide safe and legal routes for those seeking asylum.Ms Braverman said the government was taking a “comprehensive approach” to the issue, which included working with France and other countries to tackle the problem at source. She said the government was also looking at ways to ensure those who did make it across the Channel were returned to their countries of origin.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman has declined to provide a timeline for achieving the government’s goal of preventing small migrant boats from crossing the English Channel. In an interview with the BBC, she expressed her desire to accomplish this objective as soon as possible. However, she acknowledged that the government is currently facing a legal challenge concerning its Rwanda plan, and that it is unable to control court proceedings.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has declared that stopping migrant crossings is one of his top priorities. Despite this, the government has been heavily criticized for its handling of the Channel migrant crisis. Allegations have been made that not enough is being done to prevent crossings and that there are no safe and legal routes available for those seeking asylum.

In response, Ms Braverman stated that the government is taking a comprehensive approach to the issue, which includes collaborating with France and other countries to address the problem at its source. Additionally, she mentioned that they are exploring ways to ensure that those who do manage to cross the Channel are returned to their countries of origin.
