UK PM Keir Starmer Scraps Controversial Rwanda Deportation Plan After Labour's Landslide Win
Jul 6, 2024, 11:34 AM
On his first day as Prime Minister, Keir Starmer has officially scrapped the controversial Rwanda deportation plan. The policy, which was introduced by the previous Conservative government under Rishi Sunak, aimed to deport asylum-seekers who arrived in the UK illegally to Rwanda. Labour insiders confirmed that the scheme is now effectively 'dead.' Starmer's decision has been met with approval from various quarters, including migrants and human rights advocates, who had criticized the plan as inhumane and ineffective. The new Prime Minister emphasized that his government will not pursue 'gimmicks that don’t work,' signaling a shift in the UK's approach to immigration and asylum policies. This move follows a landslide win for the Labour government, which has pledged to scrap the Rwanda plan.
