Sir Keir Starmer is facing renewed pressure over his “one in, one out” migrant returns deal with France after an Eritrean man won a last-minute High Court bid to temporarily block his deportation.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been due to be removed on a flight at 9am on Wednesday, but will remain in the UK after a judge granted him a “short period of interim relief”.
