Liz Truss 'passing the buck' on refugee scheme
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss

LIZ TRUSS was accused of passing the buck today after she blamed Priti Patel for the government’s chaotic Ukraine refugee scheme.

Grilled by MPs yesterday over the fact that just 50 visas have been granted to Ukrainians with family members in Britain so far, the Foreign Secretary brushed off the issue as a “matter for the Home Secretary.”

Her comments came in response to Labour MP Chris Bryant, who asked if she was ashamed that other countries had taken in tens of thousands of Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s invasion of the country while Britain had accepted just 50.
