المصدر: GB News | Source: GB NewsLabour peer Lord Glasman has called for a “much more aggressive” approach towards France after the largest migrant boat ever recorded crossed the English Channel today.

Speaking to GB News, Lord Glasman argued existing agreements with France had failed to stop the crossings and accused Paris of not honouring its commitments.
“We've got to have a much more aggressive policy towards the French government,” he said.
“They're not keeping their word. They're not honouring this. This is a breach of our sovereignty.

“This is making a mockery of our sovereignty. It's a threat to the public, and it has to be robust,” he added.
