The Prime Minister will hold a Downing Street press conference later amidst ongoing chaos at the UK-France border.
Despite assurances from French authorities that goods would start moving again after a ban on Brits entering the continent, lorries have begun to stack up at Dover and other ports.
The Elysee announced a total ban on UK arrivals yesterday, joining a number of countries barring Brits from entering due to the emergence of a new, mutated Covid-19 strain.
The PM is chairing an emergency COBRA meeting this afternoon.
