Anyone seen the plan to spend £20 million on 30 towns? Or it might be £30 million on 20 towns.

It matters not - as not a single Penny as been costed.

According to The Telegraph they ar3 on course to get 66 seats in the election

The MPs finding that Sunak's Rwanda scheme is useless is hardly a surprise. Yet another example of the Tories wasting vast amounts of public money which could be better directed into the NHS, education, etc. It's not surprising either that they are trailing badly in the polls and likely to have less than a hundred MPs after the GE.

What a monumental waste of tax payers money. I could have told you it wouldn't work and charged a fiver. People are so stupid aren't they?

"The public accounts committee said the department “does not have a credible plan” to send asylum seekers to Rwanda and

has little to show for hundreds of millions of pounds spent so far on the policy or its accommodation plans

Well, of course they’re not credible.

It will cost a fortune, take very few people, and we’ve got to take some exchanges.

Fag packet soundbite policy.🙄

MPs say they have ‘little confidence’ in Home Office’s ability to organise deportation flights to Rwanda

"Rishi Sunak has been dealt a huge blow after Parliament’s most infuential committee concluded that the Home Office “does not have a credible plan” for sending asylum seekers to Rwanda.

The unanimous report by the Public Accounts Committee from a cross-party group of MPs with a Tory majority found said it had “little confidence” in the Home Office’s ability to implement the Rwanda plan.

The Rwanda deportation flights have long been Mr Sunak’s solution to “stopping the small boats” and ending the flow of asylum seekers to British shores."
