Home Secretary hails work with French to stop small boat crossings
It comes after reports on Friday that French police officers had used knives to puncture a boat off the coast. The Government has repeatedly pushed for French authorities to do more to prevent boats leaving the shore, including changing existing rules to allow police officers to intervene when dinghies are in the water. The Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said that 'no-one should be making these small boat journeys across the Channel, which undermine our border security and put lives at risk'. She said that working with the French is 'vital to stop boats crossing in the first place', and added: 'Over the last few months we have been working together on new ways to crack down on the criminal gang operations, with the French now bringing in important new tactics to stop boats that are in the water. 'We need to stop at nothing to boost our border security and deliver our plan for change.' There were no crossings on Saturday according to the Home Office, after more than 500 people made the journey on Friday. Earlier this week, the tally pushed past 20,000 for 2025, the earliest point this has happened in a calendar year since data started being recorded in 2018.

Issuing a readout of their conversation, a Downing Street spokesperson said: 'Turning to the UK-France summit on Thursday, they hoped to make good progress across a wide range of our joint priorities including migration, growth, defence and security.'
