Sir Keir Starmer’s new “one in, one out” deal with France is in jeopardy after an asylum seeker successfully delayed his removal at the High Court and deportation flights left the country without any migrants on board.
Several migrants who were due to be among the first to be sent back to France under the swap deal had their removal delayed after legal action, and the first legal case reached the High Court on Tuesday afternoon, with a detained asylum seeker successfully arguing against his planned deportation, which was set for Wednesday.
