In fairness, why should the French effectively police Britain's borders? It isn't in France's national interest to keep these people in their country. It's why this 'one in, one out' deal is doomed to fail because there's nothing stopping people reentering the UK.

This is fundamentally why the solution to 'stopping the boats' involves turning boats around in the Channel, offshore processing and returning people to their country of origin.

Australia had this problem in the 2000s/2010s, they tried paying off the Indonesian government and this achieved nothing. The playbook for the UK government is there to copy and paste.

Except that Australia is surrounded by international waters so can do so without interfering with another country's waters. And the journey to Australia by boat is 10 times what it is from France to England. For an equivalent journey the shortest route to Australia would be the same as someone getting in a dinghy in the middle of Germany and heading towards the English south coast.

Because it reflects terribly on the French government that this humanitarian issue on their northern coast is being ignored and they’re allowing people to sail to their potential deaths.

Britain doesn’t have the authority to do the work of the French for them on French soil. My preference as previously mentioned is for jointly staffed processing centres in mainland Europe overseeing either a fair distribution of asylum claims or deportation back to country of origin.

Some and I imagine most European countries are hoping to ignore the issue and snigger as Brexit Britain fails to ‘control its borders’ but the problem will eventually become theirs too.
