The 'failed' state of asylum accommodation provided by private firms on billion pound contracts has led a refugee charity to question whether the UK was ready to suitably welcome Ukrainians fleeing war.
In the past week British people and those abroad have reacted in horror as refugees escaping the Russian forces are turned away at Calais and told to travel to Paris or Brussels to get a visa.
While Poland has taken in 1.2million Ukrainians, the UK has issued only 4,000 visas as of Monday morning - although that number will likely increase once visa applications can be done digitally from later this week.
