Home Secretary Suella Braverman, appearing before a committee of MPs asking questions about the government’s handling of the influx of illegal immigrants across the English Channel, has admitted failing to control Britain’s borders.

Lee Anderson, a Conservative MP who sits on the Home Affairs Committee, asked her if the government was putting more asylum seekers in hotels because the Home Office had failed to control the borders and was “not fit for purpose at the moment.”
