Braverman alleges Sunak privately questioned why people were ‘upset about the boats’

What was said

""He once privately said to me that why are so many people upset about the boats? These people come here and work that's good for the economy.""

Suella Braverman alleges that Rishi Sunak told her in private, while he was Chancellor, that he did not understand “why are so many people upset about the boats”, adding that people arriving “come here and work” and that this was “good for the economy”. She presents this as evidence, in her view, of a more liberal approach to migration within senior Conservative circles and a lack of urgency about stopping Channel crossings.
