French President Emmanuel Macron and Sir Keir Starmer are expected to announce details during a state visit this week. But backbenchers who rebelled against Sir Keir’s welfare plans have threatened to revolt again over his proposed migrant deal.

Clive Lewis MP told The Telegraph: “Last week felt like it was the starting gun on more Labour MPs beginning to seriously question the Government. You can’t help but think its judgment will now be called into question far more frequently.”
Mr Lewis continued: “On immigration and asylum, why don’t we have safe routes? There’s no safe routes; if you want to stop the boats, establish safe routes.

“My view is that we should have more safe routes. But there are a number of my colleagues, particularly those in Red Wall seats, that think being seen to be more conservative on immigration will help them win again next time.
“I know that [Downing Street Chief of Staff] Morgan McSweeney has been a strong voice for moving Right on immigration. Many of us disagree with this approach.”
