Starmer met with Macron last week during a four nation summit at Downing Street. With the Ukrainian dwarf in tow, the meeting was ostensibly about the Russo-Ukrainian war, so it's not clear whether small boats were discussed in between all the snorting of cocaine and God only knows what other debauchery.
What we do know is that boat crossings are down, with another week long lull that has extended back right back to the start of the month. This is the first time since 2018 that the UK has not officially received a single boat colonist in the first two weeks of June. Boat crossings overall this year are down 38 per cent against the same period last year.
What's behind it and will it last? With Starmer in serious trouble politically, perhaps the French authorities have finally been told to do their job - as per no less than eight Anglo-French agreements signed by Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer. Six of these included tens of millions of pounds being sent to France, totalling well over a billion in total - for scant returns.
Time will tell, but this is an exceptionally quiet period at the moment.
