When a person is sitting in a rubber dinghy in the Channel, he/she is not an ‘asylum-seeker’ - asylum can only be sought once the person has his/her feet actually on UK soil. So, in that respect, she spoke the truth - pushback won’t be used against asylum-seekers because, at the point at which their dinghy would be turned back, they have not sought asylum, and they are nothing more than migrants.

That’s nit-picking, of course, but I thought I would save Nigel the trouble. ;-)
