Border Security Command head Martin Hewitt steps down after failed efforts to tackle Channel surges. Public frustration grows over one-in-one-out deal with France, which has returned only 377 migrants while nearly as many have come the other way. New funding deal with France being negotiated, tying British money to actual results in stopping smuggler boats. UK has spent over £770 million on French security since 2018, but past spending raised concerns.
