Keir Starmer urges government to ‘get a grip’ on delays at Dover
Labour’s Keir Starmer urged the government to “get a grip” on the situation at Dover as coach traffic faced “significant delays” that could last up to 16 hours.
Thousands of travellers were queuing at the port as the Easter getaway begins, after a critical incident was declared overnight on Friday.

Later on Saturday morning, a spokesperson said that queues were easing.
