A convoy of aid intended for migrants in Calais has been stopped at the Port of Dover by the French authorities.

The 250 vehicles including lorries, cars and motorcycles, which earlier set off from Westminster, had hoped to board a ferry at 14:00 BST.

Kent Police said it had been notified by the French authorities the convoy had been refused entry to France.

Interesting development. I'm presuming the French authorities have had enough of the Jungle now.

Would be interesting to see and understand the legal basis for them doing this. After all the free movement of people is a fundamental right under EU law.

Hiding behind the smokescreen of 'its because of the security situation in France' sounds terribly lame to me.

Sometimes it's cruel to be kind.

Perhaps, if the French don't want it, the humanitarian aid could be diverted there?
