Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron will hold a press conference to announce a migration deal that allows the UK to accept some asylum seekers while returning others to France. Conceptually termed 'one in, one out,' this plan emerges after negotiations that have sidelined previous European opposition. The arrangement is seen as a significant achievement for Labour amidst past Conservative failures. However, the effectiveness is in doubt as the plan is limited, proposing the return of only 50 migrants per week against an average of 843 arrivals weekly since Labour's tenure began.
Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron will announce a one in, one out migration deal that will involve the UK accepting some cross-Channel asylum seekers but returning others to France.
Officials were still in talks over the details of the plan, including when it would begin, but hurdles such as the opposition of other European countries have been cleared.
Starmer's successful negotiation is a significant achievement for Labour, standing in contrast to the Conservative government's failure in similar negotiations post-Brexit.
The anticipated return deal appears limited, with plans to send back only 50 migrants per week, illustrating potential concerns regarding its overall effectiveness.
