“You’ll Be Welcomed With Hot Chocolate And Blanket” Isabel Oakeshott Slams Labour’s Immigration Plan

Rwanda “has fully upheld its side of the agreement”, its government said after Sir Keir Starmer confirmed the deportation policy is to be scrapped. In a statement on Monday, a spokesperson in Kigali said they “take note” of the UK Government’s plan to axe the multimillion-pound agreement, which Rishi Sunak had set up in an effort to deter migrants from crossing the English Channel. On Saturday, Sir Keir described the Migration and Economic Development Partnership (MEDP) with the African nation as being “dead and buried before it started”. The statement from Rwanda comes after the first migrants to cross the Channel since Labour’s General Election victory arrived in the UK, adding to the 13,574 already recorded by the Home Office to make the journey this year. Kevin O’Sullivan and Isabel Oakeshott discuss the story. Click here for more from Talk If you need any help visit: #immigration #migration #migrants
