Labour would scrap Rwanda scheme ‘straight away’, says Starmer
A Labour government would scrap Rwanda migrant deportation flights “straight away”, Sir Keir Starmer said. The Labour leader suggested the flights would be stopped on day one of his party being in power should it win the next general election. Answering questions after delivering a speech on border security in Dover this morning, Sir Keir said: “We will cancel the scheme.

I am not going to flog a dead horse.” Read more here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/05/10/rishi-sunak-latest-news-elphicke-labour-keir-starmer/#1715332835352 #labour #rwanda #border Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
