Migrant barge plan likened to ‘quasi prison’ by Tory MP Richard Drax
Within the announcements made by the Prime Minister at his speech in Kent, Richard Drax labelled parts of the plan “a quasi prison” and told LBC “none of the key questions have been answered”
“I’m against it, and I have been since I was told it was coming from the Home Secretary”.
He also raised concerns about tourism saying “it is a seaside resort, we’re going to have a lot of families down here during the main period for revenue… this is the wrong idea.”
