Church of England’s most senior bishop accuses Nigel Farage of ‘kneejerk’ response to migrant crisis

Nigel Farage has been accused by the Church of England’s current most senior bishop of an “isolationist, short-term kneejerk” response to the small boats crisis.

Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell said the Reform UK leader, who has promised mass deportations, was not offering a solution to the “big issues” driving people to risk the English Channel crossing.
