Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron are set to have a showdown over migration as the French President arrives for his state visit. Mr Macron and his wife Brigitte will be hosted by the King when they travel to the UK today.

During his stay in Britain, Mr Macron and Sir Keir will hold a Franco-British summit, where tackling migration is set to be a major issue. It comes as small boat migrant crossings have hit a record high so far this year.

Sir Keir’s plan to use the state visit to unveil a “one in, one out” deal with France is reportedly at risk following EU objections in a huge blow for the PM.

The Prime Minister is being urged to demand France repay the £77 million given by Britain over claims the country has not fulfilled its end of the bargain in tackling migrant crossings.
