  • Keir Starmer branded 'arrogant' for dismissing Rwanda scheme in favour of 'smashing the gangs': 'How does he know it wouldn't be a deterrent?!'

The article discusses Labour leader Keir Starmer's dismissal of the Conservative government's Rwanda deportation scheme, which aims to deter illegal migrants by sending them to Rwanda. Starmer has been criticized for his "arrogance" by Conservative MPs for rejecting the plan without offering a clear alternative, instead focusing on "smashing the gangs" involved in human trafficking. Critics argue that Starmer's approach lacks detail on how he would effectively stop the boats carrying migrants. The article highlights the contention that Starmer's certainty about the ineffectiveness of the Rwanda scheme as a deterrent is presumptuous, especially since the policy has not been fully implemented or tested. This has led to accusations that he is undermining a potential solution without providing a viable alternative, thereby continuing the debate on immigration policy in the UK.
