The Daily T

In Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey speaks with investigative journalist Isabel Oakeshott and undercover reporter Christian Drogan following their year-long operation to infiltrate people-smuggling networks in northern France.

Christian describes his seven-hour journey across the English Channel alongside 35 migrants, revealing how armed gangs operated with near impunity in French camps and migrants discarded their phones at sea to avoid detection.

Isabel details the security risks and planning required to get a British reporter on to a migrant dinghy, and describes the Channel crossings as a “national security emergency” that is not represented accurately by official figures.
