Keir Starmer’s<\/a> flagship plan to tackle the small-boats crisis is in jeopardy following EU<\/a> objections, it is understood. The Prime Minister was set to announce a “one in, one out” agreement<\/a> with France.<\/p>\n

But Whitehall sources have played down the prospect of a breakthrough this week following an intervention by the European Commission. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said a failure to agree a returns deal with the French<\/a> president would be ‘another international humiliation’ for the PM.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mr Philp said: “Yet again, it looks like we are gearing up for another international humiliation for the PM.<\/p>\n

“If he can’t even get a scheme where we pay the French half a billion pounds to wave the boats off from Calais for a migrant merry-go-round where the same number still come here, what hope do we have.<\/p>\n

“He needs to get a grip. Unless all those arriving by small boat are sent back to France, we won’t stop the crossings.”<\/p>\n

Under the deal, it is understood a percentage of asylum seekers will be returned to France on landing in Britain. Reports suggested the same number of applicants at an asylum processing centre in France will be accepted.<\/p>\n

Sir Keir was hoping to make the migration announcement at a UK-France summit on Thursday following Mr Macron’s state visit to the UK, which begins on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Home Office had planned to launch a pilot scheme later this year.<\/p>\n

But government sources said the talks have been thrown off course by an intervention from Brussels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keir Starmer’s flagship plan to tackle the small-boats crisis is in jeopardy following EU objections, it is understood.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244613,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[2000,299,5187,1699,807,5804,94153,3106],"class_list":{"0":"post-244612","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-european","11":"tag-european-union","12":"tag-keir-starmer","13":"tag-migrant-crisis","14":"tag-migrant-deal","15":"tag-uk-politics"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114810590684749149","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
