Home Secretary Priti Patel is ready to give France another multi-million-pound package for drones and beach patrols in a bid to halt the crossings.
Dover Tory MP Natalie Elphicke said: “These record numbers are a disgrace.
“We should not be paying tens of millions of pounds more to the French in return for their continued failings.”
