The environment secretary and home secretary looked to have clashed heads today following two contradictory announcements.

Twenty-four hours after the government reintroduced legislation to end low-skilled migration, George Eustice said the UK is suffering from a lack low-skilled migrants to pick fruit.

Speaking at the daily briefing he echoed concerns from farmers that produce could be left to rot in the fields this summer if sufficient labour cannot be found.

It comes as Priti Patel tweeted: “We’re ending free movement to open Britain up to the world”, an announcement that has been ridiculed elsewhere.

We’re ending free movement to open Britain up to the world.

Guy Verhofstadt said Britain has became “the first country in world history to open up by pulling up the drawbridge!”

Sue Perkins said Patel showed her talents in clapping for carers with one hand and “flicking them the V’s with the other”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
