The Prime Minister has met the French President, Emmanuel Macron, this morning at the Élysée Palace in Paris, in the first Anglo-French summit for five years. One of Rishi Sunak’s main aims for the meeting will be pushing the French to persuade fellow EU leaders to sign a “returns agreement” which will allow the UK to send failed asylum seekers back to the continent, after hemigrants crossing the English Channel on small boats.
