(BBC) Home Secretary Priti Patel has warned that failure by European politicians to co-operate on the continent’s migrant crisis will lead to “even worse scenes” in the English Channel this winter.
France is hosting German, Belgian and Dutch ministers and European Commission officials for talks.
Ms Patel was disinvited from the summit after a row between Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron.
Labour accused them of “engaging in a blame game while children drown.”
On Wednesday, 27 people died as they headed for the UK from France. Their boat sank in the Channel. The International Organization for [Migration] said it was the biggest single loss of life in the Channel since it began collecting data in 2014.
