LBC halted for breaking migrant news - but expert deals huge blow

LBC host Ben Kentish reacted to Sir Keir Starmer's "one-in-one-out" migrant deal which came into force on Tuesday (August 5). The pilot agreement, which was announced during Emmanuel Macron's state visit to the UK last month, will see some people who have crossed the Channel sent back to France in exchange for taking some asylum seekers with ties to Britain. Despite the large numbers of migrants entering the country there have been reports under the scheme only 50 people a week will be returned to France.

Speaking on his programme on Monday night Ben began: "Breaking news tonight from the government in the last ten minutes, they have announced that the treaty they signed with France a couple of weeks ago now. A one-in-one-out policy on asylum seekers will come into force tomorrow." He was then joined by migration expert Zoe Jardiniere, who gave insight into the impact the policy will have on illegal crossings across the Channel.
