PARIS (Reuters) -Record illegal migrant crossings across the English Channel this year showed Brexit had failed to deliver on a British promise of tighter border controls, said French President Emmanuel Macron, adding that British people had been 'sold a lie.'

Sir Keir Starmer and France's President Macron held talks at Downing Street. Mr Macron has suggested Britain needs to reduce the "pull factors" attracting migrants to the UK.
