Some 10,000 Brits an hour are volunteering to take in a refugee from Ukraine, a Foreign Office minister declared today.
James Cleverly hailed generous Brits as the number signing up to express their interest in a new scheme hit 88,712 this morning.
He said he was "actually quite proud" the website crashed when the Homes for Ukraine scheme launched yesterday. Brit sponsors will be paid £350 a month and have to offer their spare room for at least six months.
