Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is determined to push through his controversial Rwanda policy, but a think tank says it could end up costing billions.
The prime minister said the government had ’made progress,' but the National Audit Office estimates the scheme could cost up to £500 million.
The foreign secretary said the treaty is legally binding and added that Rwanda is keen to make the plan work, knowing ’much of the world is watching.'
The prime minister said uncontrolled illegal immigration will ‘overwhelm’ countries, ‘destabilise’ societies, and anger voters.
A hardline Eurosceptic group within the Conservative Party and Tory MPs on the right of the political spectrum have expressed discontent with the Rwanda bill.
The former Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has called on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to stop kidding himself regarding the Supreme Court and the Rwanda policy.
The Labour leader insisted the plan is expensive and unworkable as the Supreme Court is set to decide whether it’s lawful to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
