Tony Smith, an ex-Border Force chief has today said migrants crossing the English Channel are a ‘major threat’ to UK borders as another boat is picked up today, taking the total number to a record-breaking 601 so far this month. Tony Smith CBE, a former head of the Border Force, told the Commons home affairs committee that he cannot see an immediate end to the crisis. He also commented on widely shared footage that some have claimed shows a French Navy ship escorting a migrant dinghy into British waters this week.
