The one in, one out migrant deal will be a genuine coup for Starmer – if it actually works ...Middle East

Sending asylum seekers who cross the English Channel back to the continent is intended to provide a deterrent effect: there is no point risking your life to reach Britain if there is a serious chance you will then just be sent straight back to where you came from.

The deal with Emmanuel Macron is a genuine coup for Starmer, who once again is showing himself much more adept on the diplomatic stage than he appears to be when dealing with domestic policy issues.

Of course, the agreement comes at a cost: for every migrant sent to the continent, another will come in the other direction. But crucially, if this deterrent does work then over time the number of crossings will dwindle, so the UK will not actually have to accept many refugees in return (leaving aside the separate question of how many refugees we should anyway be taking on moral grounds).

Macron charms Westminster - and piles pressure on Starmer

The deal caps what has been a broadly successful state visit to the UK by the French president, even if his taste for the limelight will not always have been comfortable for the Prime Minister.

And he launched into a brutal attack on Brexit at the two leaders’ joint press conference, saying that UK voters were “sold a lie” because they were told “the problem was Europe, but the problem has become Brexit”.

But delivery is more important than words. If the boats are finally stopped, no one will remember the rhetoric.
