Tories split over stopping the boats

This morning the UK’s electoral watchdog The Electoral Commission said that it had been the victim of a ‘complex cyber attack’ by ‘hostile actors’. What do we know about the attack?

The cyberattack has been a distraction from what was meant to be the government’s small boats week. We’ve had migrants refusing to board the Bibby Stockholm barge, Lee Anderson’s comments splitting the party, the Home Office floating the idea of a holding centre on the Ascension Island and a new deal with Turkey. What’s the latest on Rishi’s plan to stop the boats?

Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and Matt Dathan, Home Affairs Editor at the Times.
