The Spin

Left narrative

This 843-word deal lacks sufficient detail and is the entirely wrong approach. With even the PM himself admitting it won't bring an immediate end to the Channel problem, a greater focus should be placed on first clearing the UK's current asylum backlog rather than the moral failure of focusing entirely on enforcement.

Mirror

Right narrative

The government must stop the growing flow of boats that politicians for years have hoped would go unnoticed by the British public. The current soft border policy is a mistake, which will only fuel further crisis and tragedy. So called "human rights campaigners" now dictate UK immigration policy; many of those attempting to illegally enter the nation are from safe countries and should be sent home.
