Theresa May has criticised Suella Braverman for comparing migrants arriving in the UK to an 'invasion'.
, who was Prime Minister from 2016-2019 and previously Home Secretary for six years, has long been criticised for using the term "hostile environment" for irregular migrants in the UK during her tenure. She has since said she regretted the term.May said "hostile environment" was used to "describe the environment we wanted to set for those who were here illegally."
across the English Channel since 2018, including over 45,000 last year and more than 23,000 so far in 2023.May called for a clearer differentiation between refugees and economic migrants. May said that we should be "talking to our European allies" about making sure migrants claim asylum in the first safe country they arrive in.
"But we do need to be talking to our European allies about this issue, which potentially will be exacerbated by climate change. She eventually resigned in July 2019 after various versions of a withdrawal agreement were rejected by MPs three times.
