More than 100 asylum seekers have been detained for deportation to France as Sir Keir Starmer steps up his plan to tackle the small-boats crisis amid a fresh surge in crossings and mounting pressure within Labour.

The prime minister will formally implement his one in, one out deal within weeks after renewed criticism from ministers and senior Labour figures, who have accused him of failing to get a grip on the issue.

On Monday night Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, described Starmer’s deal with France as unworkable. On Tuesday he will formally announce his own plan for tackling the small-boat crisis, which he says will lead to the “mass deportation” of hundreds of thousands of migrants.

The government’s intensified efforts to stem the flow of boats crossing the Channel will include adverts targeting asylum seekers in camps in France, warning them that they will waste their money if they pay traffickers. “Get on a small boat and you will be deported,” the adverts will say.
