Sir Keir Starmer's "one in, one out" deal with France will take 300 years to deport all small boat migrants who have arrived since Labour came to power, according to a bombshell new report.
Almost 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived into Britain after crossing the Channel since the election in July 2024.
However, since the deal with French President Emmanuel Macron came into effect earlier this year, only 42 people have been removed from Britain.
This figure equates to a removal rate of 0.55 illegal migrants every day, according to Migration Watch UK.

The group, which campaigns for tougher border controls, has said that under the current rate, it would take 297 years to deport all illegal migrants who have arrived since Labour came to power.
This means that deportations would not be concluded until 2322.
Chairman of Migration Watch UK, Alp Mehmet, said: "This is not a legacy to look back on with pride, Prime Minister.
"Moreover, if we receive one migrant back for each one we return, we will have the same number plus new arrivals to fend for.
"The public have had enough of fibs and bluster."

| PAShortly after Sir Keir was elected in July last year, he scrapped the Conservative's Rwanda asylum policy after blasting it as a "gimmick".
The scheme would have seen illegal migrants who arrive onto British shores detained and flown to the East African country to claim asylum.
Last week, border security commander Martin Hewitt conceded that a resolution to the small boats crisis "is not going to happen very quickly".
He added that he was "frustrated" with the high numbers of migrants still pouring into Britain.

- Asylum seeker accused of screwdriver murder fled home country 'because it was too dangerous'
- EXPOSED: Graphs reveal reason illegal migration to the UK is unlikely to fall any time soon
- Number of foreigners claiming benefits rises to 1.9 MILLION, outnumbering entire population of Essex
- Asylum seekers 'baptised' in migrant hotel bathtubs 'to support claims'
The border security chief said the Government were still waiting for France to put fresh maritime laws in place to give the green light for officers to intercept the small boats once they have launched.
Mr Hewitt told the Home Affairs Select Committee that the new French laws were still going through "legal processes".
The "maritime doctrine" will allow the French authorities to intercept the small boats within 300 metres of their shores.
Addressing the report published by Migration Watch UK, a Home Office spokesman said: "These calculations are overwhelmingly simplistic and should not be trusted.
"The last government’s Rwanda scheme took years and cost hundreds of millions of pounds and failed to forcefully remove a single person.
"In a matter of weeks, we've returned 42 through our historic agreement with France at a fraction of the cost.
"With flights to France now underway and ramping up, we are sending out a clear message: if you come here illegally, you face being detained and removed so think twice before making that journey."
