Daily Express - Dear France … for £480m can you actually stop small boats
Summary of the front page
The Daily Express splashes a headline imploring the French government to stop the boats crossing the English Channel after the UK agreed to give Paris £480m to do so.
“Dear France… for £480m can you actually stop the boats?” is the question posed by the paper.
Alongside a picture of a dinghy, packed with migrants, the paper carries a warning from Conservative MPs that the French must go “faster and further” to stop migrant small boats after being promised that sum from Britain.
