Taking Back Control?
Over 500 Channel migrants land in Britain in just three days - including a toddler today - taking total arrivals this year over 4,000 as France demands £30m to stem the tide
Some 151 migrants made it to the UK across the English Channel in 24 hours
It brings the total to 532 since Thursday - when a record 235 migrants crossed
Britain's home secretary Priti Patel hopes to send migrants back to France
She has teamed up with defence secretary Ben Wallace to form a new plan
Former Royal Marines Commando Dan O'Mahoney will negotiate with France
Almost 4,000 migrants have crossed the Channel to the UK so far this year
Ms Patel's Home Office has been accused of having 'lost control' after a new single-day record for migrant crossings was set on Thursday - when a 235 arrived in 17 vessels in one day.
It comes as more than 4,000 migrants have already made the crossing to the UK so far this year - more than double the total for 2019.
On current trends, around 7,500 migrants will cross the Channel by the end of the year, according to an analysis of official figures by Migrationwatch.
This would be nearly four times the 1,892 that entered the UK via the crossing in the whole of 2019, the campaign group projected.

100% this. These people need a little help in life, it's really not so hard to try to help.
I was listening to a debate yesterday where someone posed the question, where do us Brits think our border is Dover or Calais?
Welcome and good luck.
Some of the comments under that Tweet are ghastly.
"Ridiculous. He's going to steal all our jobs and scrounge off benefits all at once."
For goodness sake, what IS the matter with people?

Typical Remoaner, thinks its all about immigrants. Not what the issue was about for many Brexit voters.
What was all that "Taking Back Control" of our borders that Boris and his cronies used to spout off about on a daily basis.
Dominic Cummings made it up.
Tory Ministers have been frothing at the mouth over this all week.
Frankie Boyle explains it perfectly.

God bless Ben & Jerry's
They Tweeted;
"Hey @PritiPatel, we think the real crisis is our lack of humanity for people fleeing war, climate change and torture."
It added: "People wouldn't make dangerous journeys if they had any other choice."
The account also tweeted: "People cannot be illegal."
To which a Government spokesman tartly responded, Trump style;
But a Home Office source replied: "Priti is working day and night to bring an end to these small boat crossings, which are facilitated by international criminal gangs and are rightly of serious concern to the British people.
"If that means upsetting the social media team for a brand of overpriced junk food, then so be it."
And Foreign Office minister James Cleverly tweeted: "Can I have a large scoop of statistically inaccurate virtue signalling with my grossly overpriced ice cream, please?"

The image of an Iranian lawyer, Niki Karimi, holding her 11-month-old daughter on the floor of a refugee camp in Calais appears on the front of The Times.
It says they and the girl's father have spent 10 days living in a tent, waiting to cross the English Channel - and have threatened to throw themselves overboard if the UK government deploys ships to block their passage.
The Sun reports that talks between the immigration minister, Chris Philp, and officials in Paris on Tuesday ended without a real breakthrough on measures to reduce migrant crossings.
Under the headline "Sacré Blew It", the paper says Mr Philp also "managed to confuse Britain and Germany" in a television interview that followed the meeting - and asked if he should start again, not realising he was live.
Families preparing to make the crossing to Britain from Calais claim the stretch of water will become 'a sea of bodies' if the British government intervenes and sends them back to France.
