UK-France migrant deal 'robust' against legal challenges, Cooper says
The UK and France have reached a new deal to address the ongoing migrant crisis in the English Channel. Under the agreement, the UK will provide an additional £63 million to France to enhance border security and increase patrols along the French coastline. Home Secretary Suella Braverman has stated that the government is confident the deal is "robust" and can withstand any legal challenges. The government is prepared to defend the agreement and resist any attempts to block its implementation. The deal is part of the UK's broader efforts to curb the number of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats, which has become a significant political issue. The government has faced criticism for its handling of the crisis, and the new agreement is seen as an attempt to demonstrate its commitment to addressing the problem.
