I asked PM for his response to deaths in the channel this morning:
“It’s a reminder of why my plan it so important because there’s a
certain element of compassion about everything that we’re doing.
“We want to prevent people making these very dangerous crossings.. if
you look at what’s happening criminal gangs are exploiting vulnerable
people they are packing more and more people into these non seaworthy
dinghies and you’ve seen an enormous increase in the numbers over the
past few years.
“This is what tragically happens when they push people out to see and
that’s why for matters of compassion more than anything else we must
actually break this business model”
