RISHI Sunak will sweet-talk Emmanuel Macron on joint efforts to stop migrant crossings when they meet in Paris today.

The PM will demand France “go further” and push for a greater presence on its beaches.

The French are set to demand another multi-million payment in return for a greater British presence on its beaches

But the French are set to demand another multi-million payment in return.

The PM’s spokesman said: “We want a EU-UK returns agreement and will push that forward. But it is equally important that there is work on the ground right now to stop the crossings we’re seeing even in these winter months.”

The two leaders will also sign off on a deal to make precision strike weapons together to target Russia.

It comes as the PM faces a fresh Tory rebellion over leaving the European Convention on Human Rights.

HOAR understands up to 40 backbenchers could be prepared to vote to leave the convention.

The Prime Minister said ahead of the summit: “Our deep history, our proximity and our shared global outlook mean that a firm partnership between the UK and France is not just valuable, it is essential.

“From tackling the scourge of illegal migration to driving investment in one another’s economies the work we do together improves the lives of each and every person in our countries. Beyond that, the UK and France also have a privileged role as defenders of European and global security.”
