Tory anger grows over Priti Patel’s failure to start resettling stranded Afghans

Conservative MPs have confronted Priti Patel over the ‘moral obligation’ to deliver the refugee programme announced in August.

Why the delay in launching the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), which was announced with great fanfare in August as the Taliban seized control in Kabul.

Afghans are among those on the French coast attempting to make the perilous crossing to the UK.

Afghans here with family still in Afghanistan were given hope when the scheme was announced but are desperately worried that time is running out to get their family members to safety.
