UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has defended his government’s plans to stop the arrival of small boats as part of a wider asylum plan.
Mr Sunak claimed stopping the arrivals was a “priority” for the British people. But Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Sunak was “deluded” to think the new legislation would reduce the number of small boats as no returns agreements with other countries were in place.
Meanwhile, the BBC’s Match of the Day host Gary Lineker described the policy on Twitter as an "immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s".
The BBC, which has impartiality guidelines, said it was having a "frank conversation" with Lineker following his comments.
