Gérald Darmanin says Britain needs to sort out its labour market, as he prepares for talks with Priti Patel
France’s interior minister has fired another shot in the cross-Channel row over migrants hours before meeting the British home secretary, Priti Patel, in Paris, blaming the British government for the crisis and saying the UK needs to sort out its labour market.
Talking about the situation in the French port of Calais and Dunkirk, on France’s northern coastline from where thousands of migrants are waiting to make their way to Britain, Gérald Darmanin said it was the UK’s inaction that encouraged people to attempt the perilous crossing.
