💨 Abstract

The UK has spent over £1 billion in the past decade to stop migrant boats from crossing the Channel, but the number of crossings has increased. Despite this, France is demanding more money to intercept boats. The article suggests that the UK should instead focus on dismantling the black market that attracts migrants. Additionally, the Chancellor plans to invest £86 billion in tech, sciences, and defense, but the article warns against raising taxes to fund this spending.
