Migration Crisis: Priti Patel set to send UK-bound migrant boats back to France
UK Home Secretary Priti Patel has defied French officials, requesting the Border Force to look into turning away migrant boats that are bound for Britain
Priti Patel held crisis talks with her French counterpart Gerald Darmanin on Thursday with sources stating that Patel warned him “the British public expect to see results”.
Earlier this year, the UK and France announced an agreement to more than double the number of police patrolling French beaches as part of a £54 million deal.
The discussion took place during a G7 interior ministers’ meeting at Lancaster House.
Those crisis talks came just days after Ms Patel is said to have told MPs she is prepared to withhold millions of pounds unless an improvement is made
It’s understood that UK Border Force personnel have been training for several months to understand how to approach the issue of sending some boats back to French waters using pushback tactics – and the force is in the final stages of this training.
The British Home Office has taken legal advice which has led them to believe that in some limited circumstances it would be safe and legal to do turnaround watercraft within existing international law.
It’s understood it would be up to individual boat captains to decide whether it would be safe to do so – and the boat would not capsize.
The French interior minister has rejected the idea
Following the meeting, a government source said: “The Home Secretary was clear with the French interior minister that the British public expect to see results.”
According to the Home Office, 785 migrants arrived in the UK on Monday after making the journey from France in small boats, with several young children and a baby among them.
Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.
The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.
The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.
Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.
Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
