UK Labour leader Keir Starmer has stated that the UK will begin returning some migrants to France within weeks under the government's new agreement. This agreement, often referred to as a "one in, one out" deal, aims to deter asylum seekers from crossing the English Channel. The Prime Minister believes the policy will demonstrate the futility of attempting to reach the UK through irregular means. The specifics of the returns, including the criteria for selection and the logistical arrangements, remain to be fully clarified. The success of the deal hinges on effective collaboration between UK and French authorities.
