Bibby Stockholm: Ministers accused of ‘disastrous failure’ as migrants arrive on barge

T

he Government has been accused of “disastrous failure” over its pledge to stop migrants crossing the Channel in small boats after asylum seekers started to board a barge moored in Dorset.

Campaigners were seen waving at coaches carrying passengers as they drove into Portland Port on Monday, while pictures showed men with luggage accompanied by staff in high-vis jackets as they walked up a gangway onto the barge moored on the Dorset coast.
