Abbott condemns Tory plans to keep Calais migrants out of Britain

DIANE ABBOTT condemned Tory plans to address the refugee crisis in Calais by building more walls as “an admission of failure” today.

Officials have announced a whopping £44.5 million will be spent on fencing, CCTV and detection technology in Calais and other ports along the Channel.

Part of the money will also be used to prevent another migrant camp from forming as it did in Calais in 2015.
