A furious war of words has erupted between the Government and Labour over Britain’s treatment of people fleeing Ukraine, writes Independent.co.uk.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK is “of course” going to take refugees and pledged to help people “fleeing in fear of their lives”.

His comments come after Labour said the Government’s refusal to relax visa restrictions for those seeking sanctuary in the UK was “immoral” at a time when the country was under fire.
