Boats still not stopped; gangs still not smashed

Britain and France are "united" in their efforts to curb small boat crossings, according to Keir Starmer's official spokesperson, as the numbers coming across the Channel imply the opposite. The current deal, by which the British government pays the French to try to prevent the boats, expires in eight days and a new arrangement has not been negotiated. Meanwhile, we reported on Friday that Martin Hewitt, the head of UK border security command, will stand down at the end of the month after a year and a half in post. Hewitt failed to stop the boats. If Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, cannot find someone who can, she will follow him before too long. |
