PoliticsUK, France end 'one in, one out' Channel migrant exchange deal

The UK interior ministry said Wednesday that a year-old agreement allowing France to return migrants who illegally crossed the Channel in small boats has ended. The deal was reached under then-prime minister Keir Starmer as part of an effort to reset post-Brexit relations by easing a major source of tension between the neighbours.
