The UK Government has refused to waive visas for people fleeing Ukraine over “security” concerns.

Home secretary Priti Patel dismissed calls for visa waivers, warnings checks were required to stop “extremists” coming to Britain.

She made a statement on Tuesday after facing criticism for the lack of clarity following her announcement that 100,000 additional Ukrainian refugees would be able to come to the UK.
