Home secretary to be given duty to remove people coming to UK illegally
More than 45,000 people entered the UK via Channel crossings last year, up from around 300 in 2018, leading to pressure on the government to tackle the issue.
Anyone removed would also not be permitted to return to the UK or seek British citizenship in future. "Those arriving on small boats aren't directly fleeing a war-torn country or facing an imminent threat to life," he said. It is, remember, one of the PM's five key promises. Three relate to the economy, one to the NHS and the final one is to "stop the boats".It is the "last chance for the Conservatives to sort this," one insider acknowledges - and Tory MPs say it really matters to plenty of the voters they want to keep onside.
