PoliticsBurnham and Macron discuss border security and closer Europe-UK ties

At Downing Street, Macron met Burnham for the first time in this format since the British prime minister took office in July. Their agenda included migration, defence, energy and Ukraine; both credited improved cross-Channel coordination with reducing migrant crossings this year. The Bayeux Tapestry’s loan to the British Museum coincided with the meeting, marking its first departure from France in nearly 1,000 years.
