Rishi Sunak says migrants ‘will stop coming’ to UK if they know ‘they won’t get to stay’

said the new vessels will slash the almost £6m-per-day spent on hotels for asylum seekers and will ease pressure on communities.

Speaking at Dover on Monday, he said: “I will not rest until the boats are stopped. With grit and determination, the government can fix this – and we are using every tool at our disposal.” A group of about 40 migrants refused an offer to stay in Pimlico hotel, the Comfort Inn, after they were asked to sleep “four people in a room” made for two on Wednesday.‘More than fair’ for migrants to share hotel rooms says Rishi Sunak - as he confirms two more bargesRishi Sunak takes helicopter for short trip to south coast in journey that takes just an hour by train

“If you’re coming here illegally, claiming sanctuary from death, torture, or persecution then you should be willing to a share a taxpayer-funded hotel room in Central London.” “The barge is designed for 222 people en-suite, and it will have 526 on board… most of the rooms will be doubled, and some will have to have 3 or 4 inhabitants in there.”
