UK-France Launch Small Boat Returns Deal

Left narrative

Starmer and Macron's migrant deal is performative cruelty disguised as pragmatism. This "one in, one out" scheme won't deter desperate people, but will legitimize treating refugees as bargaining chips. Real solutions require expanding safe routes and tackling the root causes to those fleeing the country, not pandering to hateful narratives that strengthen those on the populist right, like Farage and Le Pen.
