'Rwanda scheme is like emperor's new clothes' - Cooperpublished at 20:47 GMT 17 January 2024
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper tells the Commons the government is "trying to con voters and con the party but everybody can see through it".
"This £400 million Rwanda scheme is like the emperor’s new clothes.
"The home secretary is just wandering naked round this chamber waving a little treaty as a fig leaf to hide his modesty behind. I admit he doesn’t have much modesty to hide."
She adds that Labour agrees with the government on working with France, the deal with Albania and on stopping dangerous crossings.
