WANNABE-PM Penny Mordaunt will cut off fuel supplies and boats from people smugglers in France in a bold bid to halt perilous Channel crossings.

She also wants to slash the millions of pounds of taxpayer cash spent putting up Channel crossers in hotels.

The Tory grassroots darling would also stick by Priti Patel's policy of sending illegal migrants to Rwanda if she gets the keys to No10 - which is hugely popular with members.

The former defence secretary warned that the migration crisis is at risk of getting worse as the world gets more unstable - calling on the world to unite to stop lives being lost to dangerous gangs at sea.

She told The Sun: "We must crack down on the evil and barbaric practice that exploits vulnerable people to arrive here illegally.

"Ive spent a long time in the Mediterranean mapping migrant routes in the Med and North Libya - we should be doing more to work on what would be in Frances interest in regards to their Southern border.

"The rules governing all of this are completely unfit for the world we live in today - we need a new diplomatic narrative."
