The Labor Party will “immediately” cancel the British government’s plan to deport migrants to Rwanda if it comes to power, main opposition party leader Keir Starmer has said.
“We are going to cancel this plan. We think this measure will not work and will cost a fortune,” he told reporters after a speech on immigration in Dover, southern England, in which he accused the government of wasting money.
“An initiative that will resettle only a few hundred people a year in Rwanda, less than 1% of the people who cross the sea by boat each year, for [um custo de] “600 million pounds (about 700 million euros) is neither an effective deterrent nor a good way to use the money,” he said.
