Boris Johnson claims France must do more to stop migrants crossing the Channel as 31 people tragically die

Boris Johnson has claimed that France must step up efforts to stem the number of migrants cross the Channel, after a boat capsized off the French coast with the loss of 31 lives.

He said the tragic incident showed the operations that have taken place to date "haven't been enough" while French politicians have claimed the UK must do more to tackle the crisis.

The Prime Minister said he wanted to work with the French authorities to "demolish" the business model of human traffickers who were "literally getting away with murder".

Meanwhile the mayor of Calais has blamed Boris Johnson for the deaths, arguing the prime minister lacks the "courage" to tackle migration.Did you know you can keep up to date with the latest news by signing up to our
