Yesterday more than 150 people were detected making the Channel crossing – it’s not clear how many have now been apprehended.

The Conservatives say it’s just a ‘token handful’, but the government insists it will prove to be a deterrent. And as part of the deal, migrants in France now have the opportunity to apply online for a safe and legal route into the UK.
