Suella Braverman continues to come under fire over situation at Manston immigration processing center – UK Politics Live | Politics

Prison chief inspector says Home Office needs to ‘get a hold of’ Manston

Alok Sharma, president of Cop26, said BP’s big gains point to the need for higher windfall taxes.

He said:

We need to raise more money from windfall taxes on oil and gas companies and actively encourage investment in renewable energy.

Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick said processing asylum applications was taking too long.

He told Times Radio:

On the UK side, we would like to get to the point where we receive people in Manston, process them very quickly, send them to accommodation such as hotels and alternative accommodation, and ensure that those hotels are evenly distributed across the country. I’m here. We provide the best possible value for taxpayers so that their claims are processed quickly.

It’s taking too long at the moment. And if they succeed, they will live a full life in the UK and contribute to the country.

If not, it will be removed from the UK as soon as possible. But it is essentially a symptom of the problem.

When the scale of the challenge is as large as it is today, it will always be difficult for the Home Office to address these symptoms.

LBC reporter Charlotte Lynch tweeted that a senior Home Office source said the interior secretary had refused to approve hotel reservations for immigrants in Manston.

Sources who say Lynch is close to Manston claim that Suera Braverman only approved three hotels that were in the labor constituency last week.

She has been accused of doing the same when Braverman’s predecessor, Pretty Patel, was Minister of the Interior, stating, “They saw this coming.”

She has repeatedly denied that Braverman “willfully ignored advice”, and the Home Office said the allegations that advice was ignored were “completely untrue.”

Still in the morning broadcast rounds, Immigration Minister Robert Jenrik warned that people across the country will face tax increases for years to come as Rishi Sunak tries to deal with a black hole of up to £50 billion in finances. I answered your question about whether you might face it.

He told BBC Breakfast:

Sorry, but we will have to wait for the Prime Minister’s statement in a few weeks. It’s time to set the tax changes he needs to ensure confidence in the financial markets and get the finances back on track.

Without such economic stability, the country cannot do anything it wants to do. You cannot invest in public services. We can’t guarantee that people will be financially secure so that their mortgages don’t go up or their pensions go down due to inflation. Nor will it be able to address major challenges such as illegal immigration that require investment.

This is Suella Braverman leaving her London home this morning on what could be a difficult day for her.

Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick said reports of diphtheria in Manston were “exaggerated”.

Asked about reports of disease outbreaks, including cases of diphtheria, MRSA and scabies in the field, he told BBC Breakfast:

Well, those reports are incorrect. they are exaggerated. I spoke with the doctors on site and they have a very good medical center and when I was there they had three doctors and paramedics helping people with medical conditions.

There are four cases of diphtheria among a population of approximately 4,000. But those are all individuals who came to the scene in that condition.As far as we know, they didn’t pick it up there. They are quarantined and treated properly.

But that’s not to say I’m happy with the state of the site.
