Home Secretary claimed Labour’s potential deal with Brussels would open door to 100,000 migrants from bloc each year
Suella Braverman claimed that Sir Keir Starmer would “make Britain the dumping ground” for EU migrants as Labour accused her of “embarrassing nonsense”.
Sir Keir has indicated a Labour government could be prepared to do a deal with Brussels that would involve the UK taking a quota of asylum seekers who arrive in the bloc in exchange for the ability to return migrants who illegally cross the Channel to England.
The EU is proposing that countries should take at least 30,000 migrants a year under a burden-sharing agreement that could form the basis of a deal with Labour.
On Thursday the Home Secretary claimed the potential deal would open the door to 100,000 migrants from the EU each year.
