Plans to house migrants on a barge could see Home Secretary Suella Braverman facing a legal challenge from a fellow Conservative MP., which would be situated in his South Dorset constituency,"consigned to the dustbin".
The Home Office has said new types of accommodation for asylum seekers must be used to reduce a £6m daily bill for using hotels. Mr Drax, who has previously backed rigorous measures to cut the UK's level of immigration, said the barge was"dumped on our door" without consultation by the Home Office and urgedHe told Sky News"lawyers are looking at it" and added the local police have also voiced their concerns about the plans.Richard Drax is threatening legal action over the barge in his constituency
Good ,stick them all on it ,and have the barge docked in north korea,its not doctors and nurses coming across the channel its spongers looking for the UK promise land for free benefits,housing,dentists,medicine etc… we are too damn soft in the UK
tories are muppets they come up with a decent plan for once and now their challenging each other.. they are a complete farce.
Funny how they don't want it moored up near their holiday destination, yet blackpool has hotels full of imagrants. About time, these snobs did their bit and stopped forcing them on the north.
Floating concentration camps. **** Me!
It's a great plan, you can then float them all home again......🤔🤔😁
Drax endorsed Suella Braverman during the July 2022 Conservative Party leadership election. Richard Drax still owns and grows sugar on the same Drax Hall Estate in Barbados that made the family's fortune. Over 200 years, 30,000 slaves died at this and the other Drax plantations.
Anywhere but his back yard. Portland would be perfect for this.
Obviously this is a ploy , once the people who are seeking safety , security and solace are aboard this floating prison they'll be towed off to Rwanda in the dark night . I'm sorry but penny pinching will only make life more difficult for those looking for a place to call home.
18-35 year old males should be herded on and set adrift.
Richard Drax is a pos traitor, if it don’t want them on the barge he can take them into his home🤦♂️
Could they moor it off the Isle of Barra, a wild and lonely place.?
Stop the dodgy PPE funded Tory boats.
Looks like a Viking river cruise?
