BORIS Johnson will give a press conference tomorrow as he dashes back to Glasgow to COP26 to try and seal a deal.

“But the Government has a responsibility to ensure supply chain resilience, not only for Christmas but in the long term.
“France is one of our oldest and closest allies but we cannot have Dover-Calais forever used as a political lever, which can be pulled during some periodic spat.
“If that is the case then we must look for more robust alternatives in direct routes to Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia.”
