Government denies Channel deaths are 'blood on its hands' and won't stop crackdown

Suella Braverman said she "won't stop until we have seen progress" after four migrants died and more than 40 were rescued as a boat sank in the early hours.

The Home Secretary - who weeks ago branded Channel migrants an “invasion” - told MPs: “These are the days that we dread. Crossing the channel in unseaworthy vessels is a lethally dangerous endeavour”.
