Stop passing the buck & do something, 12 years & our country is in decline for our UK 🇬🇧 citizens & country.

There will be no cooperation with a government who break International Law and damages the reputation of this country repeatedly.
What is wrong with this government….half the cabinet are barely off the boat themselves, and I’m beginning to wonder what values they brought with them when they came here for the good life….me, me, me, me.

We have gunboats and a variety of warships. They should be doing their job of protecting Britain.

Put them all in those well to do rich places. Let's see how long it takes for these rich people to change their minds.. Nimby they will say

[patriciaoreilly]

This guy has as much to this problem as a tortoise.

Sunak should feel lucky Edward Heath allowed Ugandan Asians to come to UK otherwise he would be living in India now, running a corner shop😉

James Cleverly. Nominative determination's cruelest joke.

Turn the boats back.
No need to have an agreement.
We are allowed to defend our coastline.
Politicians want the migrants.

If the French managed their own borders and illegals, we wouldn't have the same scale of the problems

[jacquelineithell]

No what we need to do is just stop them mid sea turn them around and head them back simple

[johncatto]

OK this does not sound too convincing, I will not hold my breath, but let's hope they get something done.

[roynickson]

More empty meaningless words the country is finished.

[earnestequivocation]

What we need is something like the Dublin Agreement…..now what led to the demise of that??
So, world beating Brexit Britain is waking up to tbe reality of cooperation because it’a shot itself in tbe foot?
Illicit rather than illegal - more lexical acrobatics?

I love that Sue Gray has defected to Labour. What a coup !

There would, of course, be no need for a bilateral agreement with France, or for yet more British taxpayers money to be handed over to the French, had the UK not left the EU and its mutual obligation legal framework covering immigration matters. Far from 'taking back control' the UK effectively gave up the control it had.
