Burnham to be ‘relentless’ on small boat crossings after Ceuta crisis
Andy Burnham pledged to be 'relentless' in tackling small boat crossings after a migrant crisis in Ceuta, where 50,000 people entered Spain's territory. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez confirmed 98% of those migrants had been returned to Morocco, and Burnham emphasized the need for 'safe routes' for refugees to combat trafficking.
