Suella Braverman has been accused of “desperate strike-breaking” over plans to make the military cover for striking Border Force officers.
The Home Secretary is thought to have asked for hundreds of Armed Forces personnel to join ports and airports after Border Force workers backed a walkout over pay and pensions.
According to The Guardian, the personnel will get less than a week of training to work at Dover’s ferry port and Heathrow Airport - compared to at least three weeks for a Border Force guard.
