GB News: Katherine Forster points to major flaw in Labour's new migrant scheme: 'Wouldn’t hold your breath!'
Katherine Forster has raised concerns about Labour's "one in, one out" migrant returns agreement with France, questioning how authorities will identify individuals without valid asylum claims. While the agreement allows for immediate detention and potential deportation, legal complexities may hinder effective implementation.

The agreement, valid until June 2026, allows for the detention of migrants arriving via small boats, but Forster warns of the challenges in determining legitimate asylum claims.

He criticized the government's handling of the migrant crisis, stating that the current "one in, one out" deal with France is insufficient to deter crossings.
Stringer emphasized that the British public has lost patience and believes the influx of migrants is causing serious issues. He called for stronger measures to ensure that potential migrants understand they will not be able to stay in the UK, arguing that without such assurances, the situation is likely to worsen.

Haigh believes the scheme will face significant legal challenges related to human rights and discrimination, suggesting that many migrants may end up staying in the UK rather than being sent back. He acknowledges improved relations with France as a positive aspect but remains skeptical about the scheme's success.
