The latest agreement with France contained clauses.
Put simply, if the French riot trained police don’t do what they signed up for a proportion of that money will be held back.

Yes, the PM did manage to get penalty clauses, along with the weather conditions which are not favourable for small boats at the moment.

Let’s wait and see what happens when the channel is calm, and they start launching from other countries…

I suppose all those, for whom this mattered SO much, will be along soon to congratulate Keir Starmer and the Labour government.

Thanks for this MayBee.

Strange how posters have stopped giving us the regular updates🤔

Probably due to the weather I was in Portsmouth last week and it was very unseasoned and windy.
