"A migrant who returned to Britain after being deported as part of a one in, one out' deal is being fast-tracked back to France, Keir Starmer has said. The prime minister vowed that the UK would remove him again very, very swiftly. as he denied the government's approach to stopping small boats crossing the channel was in tatters."

"Sir Keir said the the Iranian man was already in detention and he will now be fast-tracked back out of the country, because we obviously have his details. We know he hasn't got a claim to make, therefore we'll remove him very, very swiftly. So his return journey back to United Kingdom is completely pointless, and it's really important I make that absolutely clear. He said no when asked whether the government's approach to stopping small boats was in tatters."
