Tory MPs at odds with No 10 over commitment to end crossings, with PM’s office saying he set no deadline
A row is brewing within the Conservative party over Rishi Sunak’s promise to end small boat crossings in the Channel, as backbench MPs warn the prime minister not to wriggle out of a pledge he made earlier this year.
Sunak announced in January he would bring an end to the small boat crossings, which have escalated rapidly over the past four years, with more than 45,000 people having made the crossing last year.
