UK accused of having a labour market akin to modern slavery that encourages people to make risky crossings
Senior French ministers have accused the UK of operating a labour market akin to “slavery” and called on London to open safe routes for migrants, as the two governments continued to deflect blame for last week’s drownings in the Channel.
The criticism came hours after France’s interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, held a crisis meeting with European ministers and border agencies on Sunday to discuss the migrant emergency around the Channel ports.
