Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham scolded the PM for jetting off on a European jolly while thousands suffered, as Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn urged that Britain “reach out the hand of humanity to the victims of war and brutal repression.”

Aid workers and campaigners said matters would only get worse if Britain did not take in more refugees.
