In a significant move, France has agreed to intensify its efforts in intercepting small boats attempting to cross the Channel, responding to growing pressure from the UK government and Labour leader Keir Starmer. After months of discussions, the French government has ordered police to take action against small boats ferrying migrants, with new tactics and measures expected to be implemented soon. While there is a commitment to crack down on migrant crossings, sources indicate there may be limitations on intercepting boats carrying migrants. This decision has raised questions about the effectiveness of current deterrents and the responsibility for halting the increasing number of migrant crossings.
