Speaking to French 5 on the French channel, Ms van Renterghen, who has written an acclaimed biography on Angela Merkel, compared Mr Johnson to the French leader Emmanuel Macron, arguing that the Prime Minister is Donald Trump-like on many levels. Johnson was made by Brexit, he made it happen, he exists for Brexit and for Brexit. He became Prime Minister thanks to the Brexit. He is ontologically leaving. Boris Johnson is lying all the time, and that is not just me saying it. Like Brexit, Lying is an ontological, essential, existential thing.
There are people on Twitter, a lawyer by the name Peter Stefanovic, who made a video showing the repeated facts Boris Johnson tells in the House of Commons every day. There is a whole book that lists them. It's on Donald Trump's level of view from that point of view. She continued: So he is someone who does not respect the treaties that he signs, it is someone who will leak the exact opposite in the tabloids to agitate and who is completely focused on domestic policy issues after having reached an agreement with the President of the Republic. It's not just Boris Johnson who can't be talked to, and it's not just Emmanuel Macron who says so. He is a person with no word, no morals, and it is extremely difficult to establish a link.

I think there will be no resolution to the Franco-British crisis as long as these two men are in power. The tensions between France and the UK continue to rise over post-Brexit fishing licences and the ongoing migrant crisis in the English Channel. In a letter from President Macron on Twitter, Johnson infuriated President Macron by calling for joint patrols on French beaches and the return of migrants to France who succeed in making the dangerous Channel crossing. Mr Macron said that it was not a serious way to negotiate, while Home Secretary Priti Patel was dissented from a meeting in Calais on Sunday by ministers from France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany to discuss the crisis.

Armed officers entered the camp, which runs along a disused railway line, before workers in protective suits pulled down tents and plastic shelters. Charity workers said that the 27 migrants who drowned in the Channel last Wednesday had stayed in the same area before they attempted the dangerous sea crossing from France to Britain last Wednesday. Their dinghy deflated in the open sea. The number of migrants crossing the Channel has increased to 25,776 in 2021, up from 8,461 in 2020 and 1,835 in 2019 according to the numbers compiled by the BBC using Home Office data.
