A British minister has criticised the “cheek” of illegal immigrants complaining about conditions at their temporary accommodations when UK taxpayers are spending billions every year looking after them.

Pro-immigration campaigners are threatening legal action against UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman over conditions at the Manston holding centre for illegal immigrants in Kent, where at one point as many as 4,000 people were being detained in a site intended to hold just 1,600.
