Government whips have been scrambling to contain a Labour rebellion stretching well beyond the 100 MPs who signed a formal protest letter, with opposition to Mahmood's plans thought to run far deeper.

The climbdown comes as nearly 1,000 migrants crossed the Channel in just 48 hours, with brawls erupting on board one vessel.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp accused Mahmood of preparing to 'surrender to the open-borders Left, led by Angela Rayner'.
