Description

The UK and French governments have continued to argue over who was responsible for the long delays experienced by drivers heading to Dover and Folkestone at the start of the school summer holidays. The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, blamed “unacceptable” delays on a lack of French border staff on the English side – whilst his French counterpart said “France is not responsible for Brexit”. On the Sky News Daily podcast, Leah Boleto examines the reasons for the delays and looks at the short-term and long-term solutions to the problems – from more facilities for lorry drivers on the M20 in Kent, to a redesign of the Port of Dover. She’s joined by Sky’s chief political correspondent Jon Craig, Phil Gomm from the RAC Foundation, and Mark Simmonds from the British Ports Association.
