Keir Starmer’s new UK-France migrant return deal is under fire as charities and EU officials demand clarity. The plan allows the UK to deport 50 undocumented migrants weekly to France in exchange for the same number of legal asylum seekers with UK ties.
Critics like Médecins Sans Frontières call it “dangerous,” while Care4Calais questions if racial profiling will be used. The EU is still assessing if the scheme complies with EU law.
Though praised by some as a move toward safer migration, others say it’s just political theatre. With few details on how migrants will be chosen, charities warn it risks harming vulnerable people.
