The shadow home secretary said the reason Mr Sunak called the surprise general election is because he does not believe the Rwanda plan would have worked and was “desperately hoping he won’t be found out”. She added: “The choice at this election is between a Tory Party with no credible plan and no grip, and a Labour government that will deliver a fully funded Border Security Command to smash criminal gangs and tackle dangerous boat crossings.” Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper have promised to scrap the Rwanda scheme Labour has promised to immediately scrap the scheme if it comes to power, with Sir Keir Starmer vowing that not a single flight will take off if he becomes PM. In what is set to be a key general election attack line for the prime minister, he told GB News the Labour leader would scrap the Rwanda deportation scheme and “offer an amnesty to illegal migrants”. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has promised to flights to Rwanda will take place if the Tories win the General Election “It would make us a magnet for thousands of migrants coming from everywhere.
