High Court judges have delivered a sharp rebuke to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's flagship migrant returns pact, blocking the first deportation flight under the UK's 'one-in, one-out' agreement with France.
The ruling, handed down on 16 September 2025, came after a 25-year-old Eritrean asylum seeker won an interim injunction, claiming destitution and human rights breaches if returned to Paris, exposing flaws in Labour's Channel crisis strategy.
