Controversial barge arrives in port to house asylum seekers

An accommodation barge arrived at the port to house 500 asylum seekers.

Bibby Stockholm was towed into Dorset's Portland Port.

It will be used to house migrants under Rishi Sunak's delayed proposal to "stop the boats" crossing the Channel by a month.
