Labour: Rwanda treaty is 'a failing scheme'
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says the Rwanda plan is a "failing scheme that doesn't tackle the real problem" which is criminal gangs who are organising illegal boat crossings. Ms Cooper said £140 million has already been spent on the treaty despite no asylum seekers being sent to Rwanda. Home Secretary James Cleverly arrived in Rwanda on Tuesday where he is expected to sign a revised treaty following the UK Supreme Court’s rejection of the asylum plan last month.
