In the video, a balaclava-clad individual can be seen fighting off migrants in the water as they desperately attempted to climb on board a vessel, with several people appearing to be punched and slapped in the scuffle. The disturbing scenes came on the same day it emerged Ms Mahmood's changes to Britain's migration system are set to be watered down amid a brewing rebellion from Labour's backbenches. Under the Home Secretary's proposals, the wait for migrants to obtain permanent residency would double from five to 10 years.

Her plans would also see the wait for some lower-paid migrants to gain indefinite leave to remain (ILR) increased to 15 years, up from five. The announced crackdown sparked fury among Labour backbenchers, with now-Housing Secretary Angela Rayner branding them "un-British". And now, Government whips have been attempting to avoid a civil war within the party by exploring the views of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP), The Sun reports.

The number of backbench MPs thought to be opposed to Ms Mahmood's proposals is thought to far exceed the confirmed 100 parliamentarians who had signed a letter in protest.
