- Just hours after the Rwanda plan passed parliament, French media reported that five migrants died while attempting to cross the channel this morning.
This comes as the Prime Minister says nothing is going to stand in his way of getting flights deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda off the ground.
Susanna Reid questions Illegal Migration Minister Michael Tomlinson on why the Government aren't doing more with our French counterparts to stop the boats.

They killed themselves by trying to come here illegally when there was no need for them to do so because they fled from a safe country, France , where they could have sought to remain if they were genuine refugees.
And still they keep coming in spite of those who died in the attempt. Doesn't that tell you something?
Agreed!
Yeah, but because of BRExit we don't get to send them back to France anymore - we have to spend ÂŁ500 million to send back 200 a year. We used to send them back to France, under the Dublin agreement.
Blame Farage and his lies.
@@Dom-Dewe couldnât send them back before we left the EU
@@Dom-De You have to catch them before you can send them back! In reality, I doubt very much if a single illegal migrant was ever sent back to France.
How is it the UKs fault if theyâre coming from France. Weâve spent a fortune giving money to the French to stop the boats, but theyâre clearly aiding and abetting the smugglers.
we should not be concerned the French have been paid to stop this if they can not spend that money pushing back like Australia do
Because we didn't sort the returns deal with France.
Funny how the Cons don't mention this.
maybe your government lied to you....maybe they gave the money not to the French, but Tory donors!
The UK with Brexit wanted to control their OWN borders...nothing to do with France...this tragedy on the incompetent UK.
rather get a 4 star hotel than a tent in france
And why is that the British public's problem
Because BRExit means more will come. Farage lied .
You voted for Brexit, we no longer have the same powers that we did.
@@Gaviek1 Brexit lol let it go ffs
@@Gaviek1 I didn't actually mystic meg
â@Gaviek1 ECHR is unrelated to Brexit.
stop the benefits, free homes and free health care if you want to stop the boats its not that complicated... no freebies no need to come here.... they ain't coming here for the weather
Healthcare is free at the point of use in this country. Also, what free homes? What benefits? They aren't allowed to work while they wait years to be processed. Are you suggesting they starve to death?
@@karenhopwood891you might not like their answer to that.
â@@karenhopwood891đ đ đ đ what benefits hotels free heating free heath care and money each week more then British homeless
@@redbeard3923all you have said is we are also violating the rights of our homeless. Our gov wonât even help Brits, and so you want to punish those fleeing war and famine etc. got it backwards
They don't get benefits. More Tory lies!!
The French police officers were just spectating the immigrants boarding the boats without lifting a finger to stop any one of them!
Before BRExit, France had to take them back, and stop them leaving - we sent loads back to France under the Dublin Agreement. After Farage's BRExit, we "took back control" remember ? THIS IS OUR PROBLEM NOW !
@@Dom-De you cant talk facts to a special Brit!
they are so special, they can find the facts, even if you staple them to their forehead!
â@@Dom-Dethey are Frances problem. France let them in, in the first place. If France dealt with them as they would deal with you, if you turned up without a passport then they wouldnt be our problem would they.
They didn't go in heavy because there were children there
and there had been a previous crossing stopped by police which was criticised for being violent.
@@Dom-De You say France had to take them back and stop them leaving before Britian left the EU. Have you the facts and figures to back this claim up? Perhaps my memory is defective but I can't remember many illegal immigrants being returned to France, or even seeing stopped coming here before January 2021 ( when we left the EU).#
Perhaps if the French and British towed them back to France straight away. Then boom they would stop people paying the smugglers as they won't get want they are paying for!!!!!!
Exactly right.
They don't have to do this - the UK protects it's boarder, not France. BRExit "took back control" remember !
No rules saying France has to have them back we left the union
ââ@@Dom-Dewe didn't sort a returns deal with France, as the cons bodged it.
Yes it's our fault, and I personally think this was engineered to try and win an election.
Our current government is a bunch of nepotistic charlatans at best.
Lady is wrong. Rwanda will work. Watch sky news from this morning and see the immigrants reaction and how disappointed they are. One of them actually said please donât to Uk.
The only way to stop this is to ensure that no benefits, housing or free NHS is accessible unless you have lived and worked in the UK for at least 5 years - the boats will stop overnight!
Vile and not even accurate. They are put in holding and wait months if not years to be passed, to get right to work documents etc, they want to be safe and to work. Your logic is Our country is run poorly so lets punish those who come from war and famine, UK is so backwards rn
you think that illegal immigrants claim benefits? How?
you talking about Brits in Spain???
@@Arltratlopeople not from Spain donât receive benefits and in fact help the economy by paying their way so reign your neck in.
â@@Arltratlo Brits in Spain are receiving their retirement, which they contributed to. Contributed!
Talk about St. George's Day. Not on those who aren't from the UK
Julietkelly âŠSt George
was Turkish and lived most his life in Palestine
Stop giving hotels rooms money and help.. then they will stop coming..
Stop the benefits and you stop the boats!
They recieve ÂŁ14 per week.
How much are these benefits? Did you look it up? it's HALF what a homeless person gets !!!! That an a bed to sleep in - that's all. You believed the Reform lies - but this is all BRExit's fault. Before BRExit, France had to take them back, and stop them leaving - we sent loads back to France under the Dublin Agreement. After Farage's BRExit, we "took back control" remember ? THIS IS OUR PROBLEM NOW !
@@karenhopwood891ÂŁ49.18 per week plus entitlement to claim universal credit, pension credit and housing benefit.
@@karenhopwood891 wake up.
funny, Brits still want to live in Spain....i wonder why??
300-500 british people are dying here per week due to NHS delays. Focus on them. It's not nice these people died. However, it is a risk that they were take.
Stop them coming over ..
How? We have 3 boarder force boats in the Channel. Italy has 27 for it's boarder.
After BRexit we have no money to buy & run boats, and the EU doesn't have to lift a finger to help us as we're not an EU country.
So what,thats 5 less to house feed
Yes look on the đ bright side
Anyone who cries ârefugees are welcome hereâ are all complicit in this happening,if it even happened at all.
We have had enough.
Millionaires like Tice, Farage and Habib are MAKING MONEY from all this with Reform memberships. And they're taking that money as 'loans' for themselves !
And they are the ones that said we should leave the EU and don't need France to protect our boarder !!!!!
Absolutely. Especially when the hypocrites don't, even, take them in.
@@rb1062 Donât get me wrong it pains me to even say such words,but this is all being done on purpose and I donât believe a word MSM say about the subject anymore.
"Anyone" is a singular pronoun. I'd have thought a staunch John Bull patriot like yourself would know this.
@@EdwardLindon đ
Blame the French they shouldn't of let them do it.
When we were in the EU the EU stopped this. BRExit means the EU doesn't care.
Remember how we "took back control" of OUR boarder ????
LOL - Farage played us for fools.
@@Dom-DeThe EU is flooded with illegals. Nothing to do with Brexit.
nobody can be forced to stay in the EU, if they want to leave....they can leave!
its not like Europe is a tiny island with silly people on it who making bad decisions 24/7 for a living, aka Tories!
Wouldn't it be more feasible to just mine the UK coastline?
Why should the UK do any more đ€Ź
All boats should be forced to turn back
Shouldn't be there
Exactlyđđđđđđđ
Yeah, they should land on our shores secretly, which is what usually happens.
When you stop feeding pigeons they go away
Very good - this eveningâs laugh.
France has had the money and done very little
It's about time we got tough with France
If you don't stop the boats leaving we'll stop your boats fishing
We left the EU to âtake control of our bordersâ. Why blame France ?. What we should be doing is joining with ALL of our neighbouring countries to address this problem at the cause of the problem. Setting ourselves in isolation and then trying to blame others gets us nowhere. Biggest mistake thus country has made is voting fir this government and Brexit .
Taking money under false pretences Coco. Don't miss that yellow bus sweetheart.â@@rayofhope1114
BRExit caused this flood - EU countries have to accept returns between EU countries. We "Took back control" and now we're saying the French control OUR boarder !!!! Farage lied !
And OUR fishing boats NEED French fishing rights - you'd literally destroy the fishing boats by taking away their ability to fish in French waters.
Oh, and most fishing in our waters is licensed to Norwegian boats.
BRExit caused all this.
â@@rayofhope1114 have you seen the Afghan s rioting in Paris this week .
No it hasn't.
Oh dear what a shame never mind!

If you are not deterred by the fear of death how deterred will you be by the fear of being sent to Rwanda?
How can a PM who the British public never elected,take these decisions?Surely we as the British public should have more say on boats stopping etcetra.Why is Sunak making decisions that the British public don't agree with?
Stop giving them money when they come , then they wonât come
The money and free house, of course theyâre gonna keep coming
You need to take this country back grow some ballsđŹđ§
It is not our problem.
Top tip- don't illegally crossnthe channel in a rubber boat
Most of the boats make it to UK shores....
Migrant journey: day 1 arrive Rwanda; day 2 contact traffickers; day 3 begin return to UK. Sunak & cronies are USELESS!!!! GENERAL ELECTION NOW NOW NOW
He is talking twaddleâŠ.. weâve heard all this beforeâŠ.. we are determined to â STOP â the boats says heâŠâŠ.. our reply is WHEN ?
No benefits no home thatâs the message that should be sent
Stop the free hotels. Tell all Migrants in France than none of them will ever get citizenship in Uk and will never get permission to stay . And stop All family reunion
đ It's deeper than just letting them in.
Ask yourself WHY they let them in when it could be easily stopped if they employ the right people.
That's never going to happen though because there's a reason they let them in.
Smoke and mirrors. They need someone to take the fall, otherwise their cruelty and incompetence would be in plain sight.
@@karenhopwood891 remember distraction techniques?
They're distracting everyone for a reason.
What's really going on though??
They need to put a immigration office in France
People are dying on Hospital trolleys in A&E after waiting for hours on end to receive treatment.
They are not making a big issue of it as they are to the migrants who died in the channel.
It is not my responsibility that people from poor countries risk their lives trying to move to a wealthy country.I cannot understand why the UK government does not declare no benefits or housing ,all foreign criminals to be deported on release .Just accept this country is overcrowded we dont need more people we need more .
If a civil war broke out in the UK you would be the first to run for asylum elsewhere im sure
@@ted1990 After 22 years in British army ,5 times deployed on active Service, dont think so .What about you?
@@horseman6468 thank you for your service. But surely your experience of war can make you see why people sometimes seek to claim asylum elsewhere.
The only alternative solution would be for the UK and France to agree to open a joint asylum processing centre in Paris. We would take a yearly quota and everyone one crossing the channel would be put straight back on a ship and transported back. They would be told to apply at the centre and stop wasting their money. Another solution could be 'asylum swapping', where Britain swaps it's channel crossers with a security checked but randomly selected migrant from a randomly chosen European country. That would have the effect of putting the people traffickers out of business. Who is going to pay ÂŁ3000 when they could end up in Germany for example. The key is to take control back from the criminals and those that think they can just go where they like ignoring the law.
Excellent thinking.
You mean, like every EU country has? Like when we were in the EU and sent back thousands of migrants under the Dublin Agreement ? Yeah, being in the EU is great. But Farage told is to "take back control" - so this isn't the EU's problem.
My hip operation will now, probably get cancelled đ
and we are supposed to care .WHY. if they werent coming in illegally they would be ok. GO HOME.
The people with the power to stop this invasion don't actually want it to stop - they're not directly affected and they don't have to bear the costs
Yep, Millionaires like Tice, Farage and Habib are MAKING MONEY from all this with Reform memberships. And they're taking that money as 'loans' for themselves !
People who have crossed the whole of Europe, then died after leaving French soil and never set foot in the country in their entire lives are our problem how? And, for the record, theyâre not âmigrantsâ
Theyâre not doing more because theyâre happy for them to come, why else would they be picking them up in the Channel and bringing them here instead of taking them back to France!!
How does sending people to Rwanda challenge the people smugglers? Itâs like prosecuting people for getting burgled because they didnât have a burglar alarm
To fly them to Rwanda they still have to come here. So any deaths are on the hands of the politicians on both sides of the channel. I feel sorry for the British people not the illegal immigrants.
The idea is, as they are mostly economic migrants, they'll stay in France as landing on UK soil will get them a trip to Rwanda.
â@@mikefish8226but that's a lie isn't it. 75% of them are given asylum because they come from life threatening places!
They see this country as an easy touch
â@@mikefish8226Rwanda is a tory gimmick. Nothing more. Stop falling for their lies.
@@mikefish8226 We know what the idea is, but it's probably not going to do much I would wager. I don't think anyone on any side of this debate really thinks this is going to work.
They take the risk. Our concern is the effect on our country. đą
Poor Susannah, sheâs distraught, she wonât be able to sleep tonight.
Stop encouraging them with free accommodation and money !!
There is no will, from the politicians to stop the boats. If it so chilling, close our boarders down, end of problem.
Yep, Millionaires like Tice, Farage and Habib are MAKING MONEY from all this with Reform memberships. And they're taking that money as 'loans' for themselves !
Yep, the scourge of B&Bs in this country...
Why are they risking to come here and where are they coming from? Ireland? Whats wrong with staying at France and Spain, they decided the perilous journey when there are more than acceptable countries of refuge, lets not call it victim blaming but when you make unnecessary risks, you tend to pay heavily for it.
Oh dear, what a shame never mind.
Imagine the absurdity of accepting people fleeing the EU, if they are wandering all through the EU, we must deem them EU citizens.
No sympathy, sorry, not sorry.
I agree with what people are saying about the boats but I do have a heart for the children they don't no any difference we do need to save the little ones đđđđ đ€·đ€Šđđ God bless them
Still the French has not grasp the fact the people passed the French waters before they reach the British shore.
Surely they turned a blind eye and hoped they will be safely arrive at Brish shores. Now they have to explain.....
âThey donât care whether you live or dieâ - sounds like the Tories to me.
France is hosting the Olympics so want a clear out of unidentified illegal migrants BTW why wasn't this anti British comedy "Not" covering the St George's Day parade ? Just goes to prove what's important
St George was a Turkish-born Roman soldier, who never visited, or heard of, "England".
â@@Dom-De Yawn!! That tired old reposte again! So what? His martyrdom was already known in Britain by the 7/8th Century when Christianity was in its infancy on our shores. Georgiou's heroism embodied the values people followed. Back then, we could only pick our saints from more established territories.
The establishment and their chosen leader need to be held accountable by the people.
This is about politics on both sides. Torys & Labour are complicit..
Yep, Millionaires like Tice, Farage and Habib are MAKING MONEY from all this with Reform memberships. And they're taking that money as 'loans' for themselves !
Yes only another halfâs million left . The weather is doing the governments job .
Isn't Australia a commonwealth country yet they still have it right
Why does that boat say border force on it? What border? What force? Looks like a recovery service to me. I recon the best way to stop the boats is to stop the boats, until you stop the boats you aren't stopping the boats so maybe try stopping the boats.
Kalergi plan
You know that the UK was rules by the Roman army TWICE? Also the French, the Sweds, the Danish....only redhead scots and a couple of Cornish people can say they are 'from here'. Read a book, it might stop your racism.
Stop saying Rwanda plan won't work as it's yet to implement then you will know its effect...
If Death isnt a deterrent what is A PLANE
Where did they get him from not aclue he think educated people not clue crazy government Tories and labour brutal wrecked country shocking
BRExit caused all this - Farage's fault.
đŹ She has a point. IF death isn't a deterrent then how is a free flight to Africa???
@mattbuddyMattBuddyGNN people thinking anyone actually getting sent to Africa... đ€Ł
Listen.the government know who.exactly who the gangs are, the same for the French, they can stop this illegal trade by shutting the gangs down with.immediate effect,
Yes, this is what is so galling!
Goodness, if only some genius like you was in charge...
DID OCEAN QUEST SUPPLY THE DINGY?..
And hereâs to many more
Sending people to Rwanda doesnât seem to be deterring anyone at all, at a cost of almost ÂŁ1/2Billion! Maybe legal routes for asylum seekers might help!
The route they take to the safe country called France consists of many other safe countries.
@@masere - refugees may well transit via âsafeâ countries but they have the right under U.N. convention to claim asylum in whichever country they choose. They often choose a country where they might have relatives, or somewhere they may speak the language & often where their religious beliefs will be accepted.
Such a shame.
Why are you oretending to be bothered they wouldnt die if they didnt come
These people died on the french side of the chanel apparently weren't they bothered
Best news story of the day ...oh and Tommy Robinson not guilty đȘ
đIf the French were doing what WE pay them to do nobody would be leaving France in boats,blame the French.
Blame the Millionaires Tice, Farage and Habib - MAKING MONEY from all this with Reform memberships. And they're taking that money as 'loans' for themselves !
And they are the ones that said we should leave the EU and don't need France to protect our boarder !!!!!
The first half of that comment that you are copying and pasting in the replies has nothing to do with what was said. Are you gonna pretend this didn't happen before the triggering of article 50?
5 less to pay for
Niceđ
Safe routes would stop the boats and deaths. Tories are responsible for each and every asylum seeker drowning in the channel because they're refusing to let them come safely. They could be processed on arrival if the home office was a competent and intelligent department. It isn't, it's disgusting that the Tories blame asylum seekers.
and Millionaires like Tice, Farage and Habib are MAKING MONEY from all this with Reform memberships. And they're taking that money as 'loans' for themselves !
Economic migrants aren't asylum seekers, that's why they enter illegally without identification.
So they can come live with you right?
@jordanmcglone5173 oh no, you used that old chestnut. Your opinion is now invalid.

Oh no........ anyway
So far they havenât stopped the boats absolutely useless đ€Źgovernment
Well-rehearsed lines from our elated politicians no longer offer solace, we can see the self destruction.
Is Michael Tomlinson serious? It's the French who are putting people on these boats, not criminal gangs
Shouldn't have tried today of all days.
who sabotaged the North Sea gas pipeline, causing the cost of gas to rise for the people?
it was their choice to risk coming here from war torn France!.
That border force boat may as well have a travelodge sign next to the union jack"
Lady is wrong. Rwanda will work. Watch sky news from this morning and see the immigrants reaction and how disappointed they are. One of them actually said please donât to Uk.
Oh no!! Anyway.
They chose to get in the boats though they knew it was dangerous. They have been warned before.
They shouldn't be allowed to leave the Frecnch coast, sorted !
My heart bleeds!!! It was their choice to attempt the crossing.
Maybe they can take over Buckingham palace balmoral Kensington Palace! Why not ?
Good.
No sympathy !!! They should introduce great white sharks đŠ in the channel !!!!
Great idea. đđđ€Ł
We give them millions. Why are they not doing more to stop them, its coming from there side
Need another dinghy load of doctor's and engineer's then I guess.
I missed the part where this is my problem. They trying to enter illegally they died, their own country should be more concerned đ
Hand-overs have been happening daily for months..
No sympathy whatsoever, the migrants are fighting their way in to these unsafe boats and the despicable French police stand and watch them . The French have more blood on their hands .
