    This morning at about 9am, 8 illegal entrants motored into Britain. This is the dinghy they arrived in. This is the reality of the small boats crossings. Only when migrants and traffickers alike know that they will be stopped and returned will these journeys come to an end.

    In all my years of helping people who are homeless, in cities like London and Manchester as well as my own local area in Dover and Deal, at no time, ever, has anyone said the answer lies in the removal of tents.

    People are rightly angry about the number of people breaking into Britain in small boats. This is completely unacceptable.

    Today’s verdict is one that brings profound sorrow. It ends my 25 year marriage to the only man I have ever loved. I would ask for some personal space and time to come to terms with the shocking events of the last 3 years. I will not be commenting further.

    Disgraceful that a national newspaper thinks it is okay to print something that they have been told is simply not true - I am hugely impressed by Home Secretary @patel4witham & the job she is doing

    Replying to @ObserverUK
    The Observer were told their article was factually incorrect this afternoon but refused to amend the piece or carry our statement. This is categorically untrue. Mark Thomson made the decision to leave the Home Office before the current Home Secretary was appointed.

    Last week I made the difficult decision to leave the Conservatives and join with Keir Starmer and the Labour Party. Yet again at PMQs today, Rishi Sunak has reminded everyone that the Conservatives have become a byword for incompetence and division. That is why I left.

    Boris Johnson has delivered Brexit, the vaccine, got us out of Covid first, led the way in backing Ukraine and is providing unparalleled support to tackle the cost of living crisis. Boris Johnson delivers for the British people, time & again. Tonight, I will be backing Boris.

    Vital that strong action is taken to combat the people traffickers’ illegal trade & put a stop to these dangerous journeys across the English Channel. The best way to stop these journeys is a UK/France agreement that anyone found in the Channel should be returned safely to France

    Last year there were nearly 1900 small boat arrivals to the UK. In 2020 this needs to come to an end. The best way to end these dangerous crossings is to ensure that anyone found in the English Channel is returned to the safety of France.

    There will be a General Election on 4th July. It’s been a huge honour to serve as the Member of Parliament for Dover, Deal and the Villages. I will not be seeking re-election.

    This is simply outrageous. People who are perfectly safe in France brazenly break into Britain day after day. First it was a few, then hundreds and now heading towards a thousand in a single day. The French just waving them through with a cheery Bon Voyage.
