-> Starmer scrapped the Tory government's #RwandaPlan, dismissing it as a "gimmick."
-> By May 2025, he announced a U-turn, launching formal talks with Balkan states to create "return hubs" in detention centers!

Oh fuck off #ChrisPhilp
Such hypocrisy from you. #RwandaPlan was never going to get off the ground.
And just STOP citing #Australia as a model for dealing with immigration.
The hellhole that was #Nauru was widely condemned, including by #UNHCR
People now arrive by plane in π¦πΊ not boats.

π³οΈ @aliamiddleton.bsky.social reports on 2024, when PM #Sunak called a July election, which #UKLabour won. #Starmer became PM, scrapping the #RwandaPlan and #RachelReevesβ budget cut #WinterFuelPayments, criticising prior policies.

What do Labour right wingers do when they leave the party?
They go into lobbying for the likes of #PrivateHealth #Tesla #Swasticar #Rwanda #RwandaPlan

Β£700 m. of taxpayer money vanished into the Rwanda Plan-for just 4 volunteers to fly south.
No accountability, no refunds.
But don't worry, nobody's responsible!
Just another day in world-class governance by Tories.

@bbclaurak.bsky.social Asking questions of @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social straight out of the Tory misinformation playbook! Darn good reason why #RwandaPlan abandoned: it was too expensive & frankly cruel & immoral!
More from @nandosigona.bsky.social on Trump's mass deportation plan and why it is going to be implement even if it is not going to work - as the experience of UK's #Rwandaplan teaches us.

What does π©πͺ make of π¬π§ and #Brexit ?
Well, if you ask the new leader of Merkel's old party, he'll tell you the Germans are to blame.
He's taking notes on the #RwandaPlan, too.
Read all about that - and reports of π¨π³ spies at a Cologne brothel - in today's Deutschland Dispatches.
Since Johnson first announced the #RwandaPlan to distract from #Partygate, it has become this perpetual dead cat

Anyone who cares about human rights, who has a moral conscience or who respects the rule of law has to find ways to oppose the #RwandaPlan. There should be NO flights before the general election next year.
Tories save Sunaks skin - shameful for this disgusting bill - chaos postponed #RwandaPlan

#RwandaPlan
The right wing Tory factions are becoming caricatures of themselves: ignorant, bigoted and (in Cleverlyβs immortal phrase) batshit!
"Rishi Sunak finds himself in the mortifying position this morning of having to beg MPs on the right of his party not to torpedo his flagship Rwanda legislation and perhaps fatally hole his premiership."

Study 'findings emphasize that a preventive approach is highly recommended for patients with risk factors for severe infection to avoid persistent respiratory symptoms.'
Sadly, UK government wholly immersed in #RwandaPlan, has little interest in #LongCOVID

At long last some sanity.
#RwandaPlan ruled unlawful. But we didn't need a court to tell us that concentrating groups of people you do not like into camps is immoral and unethical.

If you are feeling some relief over the #RwandaPlan being 'legal' then your moral compass is in a much worse state than you thought
