Deal with Macron to end small boat crossings won't work, according to the officials charged with implementing it

The new deal will see illegal migrants returned to France, but will also enable individuals to arrive in the UK as asylum seekers in a move to curb small boat crossings

Keir Starmer has announced a 'one-in, one-out' deal to send migrants back to France if they try to arrive on small boats. The deal will see one illegal migrant sent back in exchange for an asylum seeker who has not tried to cross the Channel illegally.
