Jacob Rees-Mogg admits he ‘got it wrong’ in 2018 LBC interview when he said Brexit wouldn’t cause huge queues at Dover, but adds: “I got it wrong for the right reasons”.

“I’m not suggesting a boycott [of France]. There’s something to be said for supporting people that support you.”In a joint statement last Friday, Phil Douglas, director general of Border Force and Brigitte Lafourcade, deputy director general at Police Aux Frontieres said the two countries are "working closely" to support the smooth flow of traffic.

"France and the UK will continue to work together intensively to support fluidity of freight and passengers across the Channel through the summer period and beyond." Traffic enforcement has also been put in place to keep roads passable around Dover and Folkestone, the Cabinet Office said. The AA put its first "amber traffic warning" in place on Friday and for Saturday between 11am and 3pm.Jams were also slow-moving on the westbound sections of the M4 towards Bristol, the M55/M6 interchange near Preston, Lancashire, the M42 east of Birmingham, the M60 and the M62 in Manchester and the A64 into York.
