Keir Starmer's proposal for a post-Brexit migrant return deal with the European Union has been dismissed by Hungarian politicians.
Members of Hungary's ruling Fidesz party, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, have stated that such an agreement is 'unfeasible' and that Hungary would not participate. The rejection highlights the challenges Starmer faces in negotiating migration policies with the EU, especially given the need for unanimous agreement among member states.
This development could complicate the UK's efforts to manage Channel crossings post-Brexit.
