Most of Friday’s front pages lead with the new migrant agreement between France and the UK. The deal will see a “one in, one out” process. Many of the right-leaning papers pick up on French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments that Brexit was in part to blame for Britain’s spiralling illegal immigration crisis.

The papers feature images of Starmer and Macron, and images of yesterday’s illegal boat crossings.

A few papers find space to report on the BBC’s sacking of presenter Greg Wallace. The former Masterchef host faced allegations of sexual assault, bullying and inappropriate behaviour. He denies the allegations.

Britain and France unveiled a pilot “one in, one out” scheme under which migrants arriving via small boats to the UK will be detained, returned to France and, in exchange, an equivalent number of asylum seekers with UK family ties will be admitted each week, potentially limited to around 50 people.

Sir Keir Starmer’s promise to tackle the surge in small boat crossings has not materialised, with over 21,000 migrants arriving this year, significantly exceeding previous years’ totals.
