Rwanda bill: After days of chaos, this is no victory

18 Jan 2024

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Following the Rwanda Bill passing through Committee stage with no amendments, Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP said:

“Tonight is no victory for Rishi Sunak, no matter how he might try to twist it. 

“Days of Conservative chaos and infighting has left the Prime Minister’s authority shot. He has proved again and again that he cannot lead his own party, let alone the country. 

"All to push through a policy that is destined to fail and has already taken millions out of the taxpayers' pocket.

“The British public can see right through this mess. We need a General Election now - to bring an end to this shambolic government once and for all.”
