I just got an email from Secret London that said Eurostar has released around 60,000 tickets to Paris, Brussels and Lille, for only £39 each way. Tickets are on sale now until January 22, and the flash sale covers trips from January 24 – March 27, 2024. For more info, visit https://www.eurostar.com/uk-en/find-lowest-fares

Looks like there may be some competition to Eurostar's monopoly in the coming years.
The route that passes under the English Channel could also have some slow-building changes in the works. Eurostar has had a monopoly on passenger rail traffic under the Channel for nearly 30 years. But the Channel Tunnel is open access, and competitors are lining up to offer additional services between Britain and the continent.
It’s all part of Europe’s ongoing rail renaissance, which is being driven in large part by strong interest from passengers.

Interesting! Well, I'd say that Eurostar could use some competition so that's not a bad thing. Maybe there will be more sales in the future!
