Tory Small Boats Week ‘Not A Good Idea’, Says Senior Conservative

HUFFPOST says Rishi Sunak’s plan to blanket the airwaves with coverage of government attempts to prevent people crossing the channel was “not a good idea”, a senior Tory has said, given what happened last week.

The prime minister has made “stop the boats” one of his top five pledges to voters ahead of the election.

Before heading to California on holiday, the prime minister lined up major announcements to demonstrate how his government was achieving this target.
