PoliticsMigration deal: ‘Really a scheme around political diplomacy between UK and France in post-Brexit era’

Parvati Nair, a professor at Queen Mary University of London, describes the UK-France migration agreement as a small but revealing part of their wider post-Brexit relationship, linking migration with diplomacy, security, intelligence and surveillance. She warns that it reduces complex human realities to numbers and deterrence while obscuring the experiences of people fleeing conflict, displacement and trauma. She calls for safe legal routes, greater accountability and a shift away from militarised borders and criminalised mobility.
