"“We have gendarmes driving all night - it will not change anything,” he said. Mr Benoit added he had become “disillusioned” with attempts to tackle the crisis, arguing: “There is no political treatment of the problem. We are not listened to.”"
"French officials have openly admitted they have “no solution” to stop the flow of small boats crossing the Channel, dealing a fresh political blow to Keir Starmer after Britain agreed a new £662 million border enforcement package with Paris. The comments came despite Downing Street unveiling plans for expanded joint patrols, increased surveillance and the deployment of at least 50 riot-trained French officers to beaches used by migrant gangs operating along the northern French coastline."
France and Britain agreed a £662 million border enforcement package aimed at reducing small-boat crossings across the Channel. French plans include expanded joint patrols, increased surveillance, and deployment of at least 50 riot-trained French officers to beaches used by migrant gangs along the northern coast.

A mayor said round-the-clock patrols had failed and expressed disillusionment, claiming there is no political treatment and that they are not listened to.
