WATCH: UK's New PM Keir Starmer Declares Rwanda Plan "Dead and Buried', Promises "Tough Decisions"
Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would scrap a controversial plan to fly thousands of asylum seekers from Britain to Rwanda in his first major policy announcement since winning a landslide election victory. The previous Conservative government first announced the plan in 2022 to send migrants who arrived in Britain without permission to the East African nation, saying it would put an end to asylum seekers arriving on small boats. But no one was sent to Rwanda under the plan because of years of legal challenges. At his first press conference since becoming prime minister, Starmer said that the Rwanda policy would be scrapped because only about 1% of asylum seekers would have been removed and it would have failed to act as a deterrent.

This is for the labour party , why is the Windrush scheme been put on the back burner. People have been waiting for year to get answer if they are eligible for compensation and why is the process so difficult, Feed back would be helpful.

My family they live in England and i never meet them in England because of British Government rules😢. Only they can come in Nepal to see me and you know this is how difficult? Only a father understand😢. Maybe the new Prime minister would change the system and a father will have rights to go to England to see his wife and son's?

KobbeRJacc, Sunak is born in Southampton which makes him English not African and his parents are Asians or some Indian orgin. Nothing Kenyan about Sunak. British Parliament is run by unelected British Crown. You should know that as Kenya was once a Brirish Crown Colony until Uhuru.

The public will suffer with this man as PM and serve the publics right for voting him in. Everything he's going to say for years to come is to blame the last government... what a joke
