France is furious after Boris Johnson posted the contents of a letter to Macron on Twitter, suggesting France should take back migrants who arrive in England following the deaths of 27 people in the Channel this week.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday said he was "surprised" by the approach taken by the British prime minister in the crisis over migrants crossing the Channel, saying leaders should not communicate to each other through social media.
"I am surprised by methods when they are not serious. One leader does not communicate with another on these questions on Twitter, by public letter," he told reporters on a visit to Rome.

Earlier, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told UK counterpart Priti Patel she was no longer invited to weekend talks about the crisis with other European ministers, in protest at the letter.
