Now this is one subject I feel I can support my government on.

The Government is considering further steps to try and put a stop to illegal immigrants crossing the Channel on a daily basis.

The government's Illegal Migration Bill would ban anyone who enters the country illegally from claiming asylum on arrival - or in the future.

It would also create an annual cap on the number of refugees the UK will settle through "safe and legal routes", and impose a legal duty on the Home Secretary to swiftly detain and remove anyone who arrives illegally.

There are currently more than 51,000 people being housed in 395 hotels which costs around £6m a day.

Disused ferries are being considered to house people - but this has not been confirmed and former airbases in Lincolnshire and Essex are among sites being looked at.

More than 45,000 reached the UK via the dangerous route last year, up from around 300 in 2018.
