French President Emmanuel Macron has been branded "arrogant" and "disrespectful" following his three-day state visit to the UK.
Speaking to GB News, commentator Lizzie Cundy claimed Macron's attempts to curb the UK's migrant crisis has been a "disgrace", in light of a new exchange deal.
Addressing Britons about the deal, Macron said: "This agreement will be signed once the legal verifications are carried out, including those of the European Union, and for it to be implemented thereafter as rapidly as possible."
The deal, set to begin in a matter of weeks, would see Channel migrants detained, deported and swapped for "legitimate asylum seekers" from France.

Delivering her verdict on Macron's state visit to Britain, Cundy fumed: "My blood was boiling with Macron, I was livid, fuming. The arrogance of the man, he's got no manners. I hope he picked up a book of etiquette on his way home back to France.
"He walks in front of the King, he does a wink to Princess Catherine, and then he lectures us on our own UK policies and blames Brexit."
Addressing the newly agreed migrant deal, Cundy criticised the current efforts of French Police in dealing with the Channel crossings.
She told GB News: "He's taken £800million of our money to help with this migrant crisis, and as far as I can see, the French have barely got their feet wet, it's a disgrace.

As Nana argued that Britain has also been "too generous" when it comes to accommodating illegal migrants, Cundy responded: "In France, they get a tent, and Greece has just said no more, that's it.
"I just thought Macron was very disrespectful. The way he spoke, I thought it was totally disrespectful when he's on a state visit."
She added: "His behaviour was atrocious, I'm glad he's gone back, I don't want to see him again. And the amount of patting backs and slapping each other, they did over 28 hugs!"

Weighing in on the UK's relationship with France, commentator Fahima Mohamed argued that the UK would better benefit from being "closer to the EU" when it comes to dealing with the migrant crisis.
Mohamed explained: "When the UK left the EU, we wanted to take back control, but we lost allies, we lost tools to manage, we lost even the watch list. That's why these gangs and criminals are moving freely.
"It's not just about getting rid of migration, it's a different type of migration that's now coming in, and I think if we were more close with the EU instead of having Brexit, it would be so much better.
"We could actually have a sort of systemic and systematic sort of way with the watch list, the EU Intel, the Europol, we could have shared those kind of intel's much more and actually have much more control over what's happening."
