In a controversial move, UK leader Keir Starmer and France's Emmanuel Macron settled on a "17-in, one-out" migrant deal, sparking backlash. Critics argue it weakens the UK’s borders and sovereignty. Reportedly, the UK can return just 50 rejected asylum seekers weekly to France, a drop compared to rising migrant numbers. Many, including Alex Armstrong, see this as a blow to Brexit ideals and Britain's dignity, claiming it’s more about appeasing international players than protecting British interests.
