It is nearly a year since Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron agreed their ‘ground-breaking’ deal to stop the small boats crisis in the Channel.
Dubbed the ‘one in, one out’ agreement, the scheme was hailed as a triumph by the Prime Minister, and by some of his cheerleaders in the media. ‘A small boats deal with France would be a game-changer for Starmer – and the country,’ proclaimed an editorial in the Independent.
There were one or two more cynical takes on the deal, most of them found in these pages. As I wrote last year: ‘This latest plan to solve the small boats crisis will play out like every other since 2002: a firm handshake, a media fanfare and a complete failure.’
And so it has proved. During the recent bank holiday weekend, 989 migrants crossed the Channel in 14 boats, taking the total number in 2026 to more than 9,000.
That is the number of detected crossings but the true figure could be higher as smuggling gangs are increasingly using yachts to bring migrants to more remote stretches of Britain’s coastline. A report in today’s Daily Mail quotes Lucy Moreton, professional officer at the Immigration Services Union, who accuses the government of turning a blind eye to the new phenomenon.
As last week’s new arrivals were finding their bearings in Britain, a French parliamentary commission was hearing just how ineffectual the one for one treaty has become since it came into force last August.
Laurent Touvet, the director general of the Directorate General for Foreigners in France, was questioned on Thursday about the results of the agreement and the situation in general on the Channel coast.

Sink a few.
The rest will get the message.
Of course that will be difficult to do since the British Navy doesn’t exist anymore.

The illegals launch from known areas using chinese inflatable rafts.
This could be stopped with air rifles if they wanted to.
Because the next time the Germans conquer the Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys, whatever nation (or alliance) comes to their rescue still will need an offshore platform from which to stage their invasion.
And when that time comes, if the Muhammadans are in control of the UK, they’ll be happy to sit on the sidelines and cheer on the Fourth Reich.
There's a small possibility that Christianity may spread in Iran.
The alternative to Christianity is not secular hedonism.
Rejection of Christianity, after a brief period of chaos, leads directly to Islam.
France continues to operate a human trafficking state run system.
Keir Starmer is the most spineless pm in british history. He is a subjugated dhimmi.
