Sir Keir Starmer's flagship "one in, one out" scheme is returning only 12 migrants a week to France, falling short of the initial promise of 50 per week. Since its launch last August, 377 people have been returned to France under the pilot, while 380 migrants have been allowed to apply for asylum in the UK from France.

Nigel Farage, Reform UK's leader, has said there is every chance of a general election in 2027 and declared he will run on a pledge to stop the boats within two weeks of entering No 10. The Sunday Times is reporting that Mahmood, conscious of Farage's popularity with voters, is likely to want to reform the European convention on human rights (ECHR), with a source telling the paper that the former justice secretary would start with the unthinkable and work backwards.
