Sir Keir Starmer held his first cabinet meeting this morning before answering questions from the media at a press conference.
The new prime minister and his cabinet have promised to hit the ground running after winning a landslide victory.
The Rwanda deportation plan is “dead and buried”, Sir Keir Starmer said in his first press conference as prime minister.
“The Rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started,” the Prime Minister said when asked about the plan on Saturday. He added: “It’s never been a deterrent.”
It comes after the prime minister killed off the scheme on the first day of his premiership after pledging to scrap it in his manifesto.
The scheme, first announced by Boris Johnson and continued by Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, has been waylaid by long court battles since its inception.
