Keir Starmer accuses PM of not believing in 'Rwanda gimmick'

Labour leader Keir Starmer has accused Rishi Sunak of lacking belief in the "Rwanda gimmick" deportation scheme.

He questions the rationale behind spending £600 million in taxpayer funds to deport a mere 300 people.

The prime minister responded by saying “Not only does the Labour party not have a plan to fix this issue, they don't actually care about fixing this issue.” Report by Covellm.
