The Labour Government

It shouldn’t happen to people who haven’t had their applications considered as was the case with the Rwanda farce but presumably for a fraction of the cost they’ve actually managed to process some of the backlog that the previous government didn’t bother doing and deported those that have failed in their application. Why are you so against that? I would imagine that if we’re looking for a deterrent to stop non-genuine asylum seekers coming, the prospect of being dealt with quickly and flown to their country of origin would be greater than offering them thousands to go to Rwanda after sitting in a UK hotel for years.

He’s against it because it wasn’t the Tories

Whose best effort was Ruanda ( with the massive amounts of money wasted ).

Didn't say that these were refused asylum by Labour .... simply that their application had been refused.

At last we have a government that is actually doing something

The legal process starts and once it's completed only then are you deported it make no difference which party is in power unless they have made a change to the laws regarding asylum & appeals which they have not done .

The Tories had no idea on this and simply sat back and watched it escalate out of control. The waste of taxpayers money was criminal

Judge a Govt on its actions not its rhetoric. Fucking Rwanda scheme for gods sake

Hundreds of illegal migrants deported on biggest flights in UK history

It comes as Keir Starmer celebrated a major victory in his war against vile people smuggling gangs, with the arrest and extradition of the so-called “Engine King”

‘the Sunday Mirror understands’? Does that mean it has happened? Because they make it seem like are they guessing after being given some vague information.

A good first step was to implement the existing laws - something the previous government didn’t want to do because they wanted to create a crisis to use as an election issue. Fortunately most of us saw through it and they’re history.

I’m fully in favour of it lol

I’m just amused at the sudden turn around in attitudes to throwing the “foreigners out on a plane” by some that’s all.

No one who has been refused asylum since labour came to power has been deported . On average from being refused asylum to deportation is at least 18 months . They can volunteer to leave if they wish

So Labour is so far only deporting people that the Tories failed to deport?

The Tories were too busy trying to deport West Indians who couldn't prove that they'd been entitled to be here after working and paying taxes here for 30 years.

Worse, they cut the asylum processing staff.
