Theresa May has vowed to fight Emmanuel Macron if he attempts to scrap British border controls in Calais and said that they benefit France as much as the UK.

The Prime Minister said that Mr Macron, the new French President, has secured a "very strong mandate" and urged voters to put her in a similar "strong position" as she negotiates Brexit.

She said that if she wins the election she will "sit down" with Mr Macron and discuss the Le Touquet agreement, under which British border officials can carry out border checks in France.
