Publicae's video: Labour unable to protect UK borders New immigration plan for Brexit Britain soars through Commons

Priti Patel's plan to radically reshape Brexit Britain's "broken" asylum system has been backed by MPs in the Commons. MPs voted by 366 to 265 to adopt the Nationality and Borders Bill at its second reading. The Home Secretary believes the new legislation will help put a stop to migrants making the dangerous crossing across the English Channel from France on a daily basis. Yesterday at least 430 people, including women and young children, made the journey, a new record for a single day. More than 8,000 migrants are thought to have succeeded in crossing the Channel so far in 2021. Migrants crossing the Channel this year has already nearly surpassed the total for the whole of 2020. The Nationality and Borders Bill aims to make it fairer and easier for genuine asylum seekers to make applications abroad, crack down on criminal human trafficking networks and remove those from the UK with no right to be here. Chris Philp MP, The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Croydon South, Conservative) lashed out against the Labour party for their stance of the new immigration plan.
