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.

Friday is heating up across the UK, with a new heatwave in full swing, temperatures are set to creep into the 30s this weekend. Health alerts have been issued for many parts of the country, with the sweltering conditions expected to linger into the start of next week.

The week ends with a big political win for the prime minister after getting his migrant deal with France over the line. The one in, one out deal, though criticised by the opposition parties, will reduce illegal crossings to the UK. The deal is set to come into effect within weeks, and is a nice distraction for Starmer after weeks of chaos over policy.


In some tough news for the chancellor, the UK economy shrank unexpectedly in May, according to the latest official figures, contracting for the second month in a row. It’s a blow for Chancellor Rachel Reeves, with the government having made boosting economic growth its key priority.

England is facing its third official heatwave of the summer, with a yellow heat-health alert extended across all regions.

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.
