The Telegraph reports that Keir Starmer, on his first day as Prime Minister, is scrapping the "Rwanda scheme,' the Tory plan to deport all asylum seekers & undocumented immigrants to Rwanda wherever they are from.

(This was a Starmer platform promise.)

It’s nice when you can start a new job by simply ending the abysmally stupid plans of your predecessor.

That was easy to do; just declare that the program is scrapped, and it is. Other things may take a bit longer to prepare. But already a little bit of money saved…

These vile Conservatives wanted the Rwanda scheme to be more vile to asylum seekers: Braverman and Truss (Truss endorsed the rapist, Trump, she was just voted out).
January 2024: "... 50 MPs on the right ... including Liz Truss, ... moves to toughen up the bill." www.bbc.com/news/uk-poli...

Sunak in his farewell address said he was the product of immigrants and the UK was a very kind (friendly) country. Yet this dude wanted to ship non-white asylum seekers to Africa. Sunak is a million times better than the vile Putin-loving racist, Nigel Farage.
