Migrant deal will be seen as failure if numbers don't fall

The UK and France are set to announce a new migrant deal aimed at addressing the rising number of small boat crossings in the English Channel. The key aspect of this agreement is the "one-in-one-out" policy, where for every migrant who successfully reaches the UK, one will be returned to France. The success of this deal will be measured by its ability to deter people from attempting the dangerous boat crossings. If the number of migrants continues to rise despite the new agreement, it will be viewed as a failure. Both governments are under pressure to find a solution to the growing crisis, with the UK facing criticism for its handling of the issue. The new deal is seen as a crucial step in addressing the problem, but its long-term effectiveness remains to be seen.
