Starmer Scraps Rwanda Deportation Scheme
Scheme Widely Expected to Fail
Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday he would scrap a controversial plan to fly asylum-seekers to Rwanda.
Dead and Buried
Starmer confirmed that the Rwanda deportation scheme is "dead and buried," stating that it was "widely expected to fail."
Pledge to Scrap Scheme
"I will scrap the government's Rwanda scheme straight away if I am elected Prime Minister," Starmer said during his first news conference.
Conclusion
The Rwanda scheme, which was introduced by the former Conservative government, has been met with widespread criticism from human rights groups and legal experts. Starmer's pledge to scrap the scheme is seen as a significant victory for asylum-seekers and an indication of the new government's commitment to a more humane immigration policy.
