Priti definitely on her mettle this afternoon. The Channel immigrants only took-up the first 15 minutes, but was most informative and entertaining.
Nothing confirmed about this weekend's/today's speculation, other than she requested MoD/RN assistance back in 2019! Apparently -
at great expense - the RN
did patrol the Channel for a few (4-6?), months and then withdrew.
I was left with the impression that -
if agreed - the MoD are (
only) to provide “assistance”, and that the HO is not abdicating responsibility, and will not be handing over responsibility, “Command & Control” to the MoD/RN.
I lost count how many times Push-Back was mentioned . . . but, it is a "thing". It has been tested, and approved, and it
will happen
