"The Rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started. It's never been a deterrent," Starmer said."I'm not prepared to continue with gimmicks that don't act as a deterrent." Asked if he was willing to take tough decisions and raise taxes if necessary, Starmer said his government would identify problems and act in areas such as tackling an overstretched prisons system and reducing the long waiting times to use the state-run health service.
While supporters say it would smash the model of people traffickers, critics have argued the Rwanda policy was immoral and would never work.
