Braverman visits Manston

The government claims more than 1,000 migrants have been moved out of Manston this week, meaning 2,700 remain in facilities.

Downing Street officials stressed that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak receives updates on the situation twice a day.

Ms. Braverman spent about two hours at Manston and departed using a side gate away from the journalists who had gathered at the front door.

North Thanet MP Roger Gale was also seen leaving the processing center, while Dover MP Nathalie Elfiecke said the Home Secretary’s failure to take the opportunity to meet with other Kent politicians was “very disappointing.” I’m sorry,’ he said.

“The small boat crisis is not just at immigration processing facilities, it is also at beaches, schools, services and housing in Kent,” she added.

Prime Minister Jeremy Hunt later said Braverman was ready to “face the music” despite avoiding questions from the media yesterday.

The Home Office said steps were being taken “immediately” to improve the situation in Manston – enhancing medical facilities, providing extra bedding and providing better catering.

“This is a complex and difficult situation that requires all sides to be tackled and innovative solutions to be explored,” Braverman said.

“To break the smuggler business model, we need to make illegal trans-strait immigration routes ultimately infeasible.”
