No, Britain were fighting against Germany. The battle of Dunkirk was actually a British and French retreat.
The Battle of Dunkirk was part of the Battle of France operation and responsible for the defense and evacuation of French and British forces to Britain in May and June, 1940. The situation seemed dire when the Germans, after crossing the channel went north, a decision that could have trapped French and British soldiers before they could be evacuated to Britain. However, the Germans halted the advance on Dunkirk, deciding instead to consolidate forces. This action enabled the evacuation to complete successfully.

Rescued from Dunkirk
Location where the Germans trapped almost 400,000 British and French soldiers on the French side of the English Channel (to which the British began ferrying people across the Channel to safety), to prevent them from protecting Paris
Dunkirk :) but the Germans bombed them as they tried to evacuate on the beaches
Dunkirk was a rout of British soldiers by Germans. The British Expeditionary Force was retreating back to the coast. The defining of it as a 'failure' might be partially mitigated by the heroic efforts of many (including French yacht owners) to save hundreds of thousands of soldiers - including about 100,000 French! But it was clearly not a "victory" for the allies in any meaningful sense.
