SUELLA BRAVERMAN is facing calls to resign over the deaths of four people in the Channel today as campaigners blamed the loss of life on her “hostile environment” policies.
Some 43 people are said to have been rescued, with 30 pulled out of the water, after a small dinghy got into difficulty while attempting to cross the Channel in freezing conditions early on this morning.
An MP said later that afternoon that some survivors were still fighting for their lives in hospital, adding that children and women were among those pulled out of the water.
