British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday he would abandon the controversial Conservative policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, given that the measure has failed to produce results despite the money invested.
“The Rwanda project was dead and buried before it even began,” the new prime minister said at a press conference after his first cabinet meeting, adding: “It never worked as a deterrent. Almost the opposite.”
The move was one of Starmer’s first acts in office, although it was widely expected. During the election campaign, the union leader said he would scrap the plan, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars but never materialised.
