Albania’s prime minister has accused the UK government of looking for “scapegoats” to blame for its “failed policies” on curbing illegal immigration.

Edi Rama commented on UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s choice of language in a debate in the House of Commons this week, in which she said there is an “invasion” of England by illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel in small boats.
