Priti Patel planned on potentially “pushing back” boats to France
(Picture: REUTERS)Priti Patel was on Tuesday accused of presiding over a failed “publicity stunt” after it was claimed the Royal Navy is preparing to abandon its role in tackling the Channel migrant crisis.
Reports said the Navy, drafted in by the Home Secretary in April to help the Border Force deter small boat crossings, will end its involvement early next year unless it receives a new government edict to continue.
