The idea that the government is a brainstorming to deport failed asylum seekers to third countries, with its echo of the controversial Rwanda plan, will send alarm bells for many MPs for labor.
Sir Keir Starmer described the Rwanda scheme as a ‘Gimmick’ who did not work – an argument that was a central shelf of the party’s general election campaign, a clear dividing line with Rishi Sunak’s Tories.

The prime minister scrapped it in office on his first day.

There is a scent of hypocrisy for the idea – of labor once again becoming approaches that they rejected in opposition.

Giorgia Meloni, who promises to learn from the right -wing leader of Italy, with her policy of sending migrants to Albania, sends a targeted message to voters involved in migration – even if the party’s more liberal supporters alienate.
The plan is also kept in the courts; But the uncompromising message is clear.
