New UK PM Starmer confirms end of Rwanda asylum deportation scheme

  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer has scrapped the controversial Conservative policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, aiming to fulfill voter expectations for change.
  • The Rwanda deportation plan, initially introduced by Boris Johnson and continued by Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, has been abandoned by Starmer on his first day as Prime Minister.
  • The termination of the Rwanda scheme might result in forfeiting the £270 million already sent to Kigali, with future savings from not sending the next two instalments of £50 million in 2025 and 2026.
