Rwanda's lawsuit over deportation scheme is a TORY failure Rwanda has launched its threatened lawsuit, demanding £100 million it says the UK owes under the aborted Tory deportation scheme for refugees and asylum-seekers.

Rwanda’s lawsuit isn’t a Labour failure — it’s a bill for a reckless Tory deportation scheme that never worked and was legally doomed from the start.

The true cost of the Tory Rwanda scheme: £500M+ for a plane that never took off. Even if it had, it would send fewer than 1% of UK asylum seekers. And UK taxpayers would foot the bill for their housing & living costs for years. A costly gimmick, not a solution. #RwandaScheme

The message from Keir Starmer regarding the processing of asylum claims is that Labour xenophobia will be better value for money than Tory xenophobia

#RwandaScheme

#politicslive So Conservatives & Rightwing numpties are now lying about the #RwandaScheme People processed, found to be legitimate would have to stay in Rwanda & not return to the UK!!! Who is that awful person "I was on holiday in Balkans" #Blunkett "Have you seen what the Serbians are doing?"

#LabourTumbleweed (again)

But back to the #RwandaScheme. The British Tory government had already paid £220 million of Her Majesty's taxpayer money IN ADVANCE to Rwanda's government as part of the "Economic Transformation and Integration Fund (ETIF)."

Revealed: Conservatives spent £134m on never-used IT systems for failed Rwanda scheme Home Office official says data protection laws caused the cost of its forced removal programme to increase

Disgraceful.

Sharing from another place: we have been alerted to the risk of individuals seeking refuge in our city being at risk of arrest and detention at their routine sign in apt with Police Scotland tomorrow at Marischal College from 11am. These individuals are at risk of deportation under the #RwandaScheme

Ministers are touring UK News shows boasting they’ve found 150 judges to help implement the Governments morally bankrupt, law breaking #RwandaScheme

In other news the backlog in Crown court cases is now at a record high of almost 70,000… because we don’t have enough judges
