Gasps in Commons as Yvette Cooper reveals true cost of Tory Rwanda deal

Gasps were heard in the Commons as Yvette Cooper revealed the true cost of the Tory Rwanda deal.

The home secretary revealed to MPs that the controversial deportation scheme cost Britain £700 million, despite only four volunteers being sent to Kigali.

Addressing MPs on Tuesday (23 July), Ms Cooper branded the policy the “most shocking waste of taxpayer money I have ever seen”.

The home secretary accused the previous Conservative government of creating an “asylum Hotel California”, where people arrived in the system but never left.
