A British court has blocked the planned removal of an Eritrean asylum seeker to France, handing Prime Minister Keir Starmer an early setback in his plan to stop small-boat crossings of the English Channel.
The 25-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, arrived in Britain on 12 August. He was due to be put on a flight to Paris on Wednesday under the “one in, one out” scheme agreed in July by Britain and France.
