The European Commission initially indicated it was skeptical of the UK-France agreement, back in July. But they seem to have come around, with Brunner now saying he "welcomes" the arrangement.

Big news from the UK-France summit. Starmer announces a pilot 1:1 returns deal. For each person returned to France, one person will be admitted to the UK. A good first step towards addressing mixed migration in a way that shares, rather than transfers responsibility.
