The small-boats crisis has made British women and girls less safe, Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick warns today.

The top Tory admits he fears for his own three young daughters against a backdrop of illegal migrants with ‘medieval attitudes’ crossing the Channel.

His comments follow a nationwide series of protests by angry parents outside hotels being used to house asylum seekers.

In a candid article for The Mail on Sunday, Mr Jenrick states: ‘I certainly don’t want my children to share a neighbourhood with men from backward countries who broke into Britain illegally, and about whom we know next to nothing.

‘And I don’t want anyone else’s family to have this forced on them either.’
