Ukraine war: Cooper on Home Office response to Ukrainian refugees

Yvette Cooper has told MP, Home Secretary Priti Patel, to “hand the job over to someone else” if she can’t help Ukrainians travel to the UK faster.

The shadow Home Secretary said the Home Office’s response was a “total disgrace” which shamed Britain as people were unable to get appointments at visa centers and had to queue for days in freezing weather.

She welcomed the virtual application system, which went live on Tuesday, but wondered why it had taken so long.
