Emmanuel Macron: I'll renegotiate Le Touquet border treaty

Presidential hopeful's comments on French TV raise the possibility of migrant camp springing up to the UK

Emmanuel Macron, the favourite in the race to become the next French president, has suggested that he would want to renegotiate an agreement that allows British border police to operate in Calais.

The centrist politician, who will go head to head against Marine Le Pen in the final round of the election on 7 May, said: "I want to put the Le Touquet border deal back on the table. It must be renegotiated, especially the parts that deal with the fate of isolated child migrants."
