Starmer would scrap Rwanda scheme as PM even if it's working
Sir Keir Starmer may perform yet another major U-turn and keep the Rwanda scheme in place should he win power, it has been claimed.
The widely respected former BBC political editor, Andrew Marr, has said Labour will not abolish Rwanda immediately in a new column.
According to Mr Marr, some in Labour are now admitting they may have to retain the Rwanda scheme for a lengthy period, until the party can negotiate a new returns policy with the EU.
He quotes one Labour senior advisor who says: “We can’t just come in, tear it up, and have nothing to put in its place”.
The admission represents a stark change of policy for Labour, who had originally intended to end the Rwanda scheme within its first 100 days of Government.
