EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the reports in the Sun that Britain has removed the first failed asylum seeker to Rwanda, Liberal Democrat Home Affairs Spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP said:
"This is cynical nonsense from a Conservative party that is about to take a drubbing at the local elections. Paying someone to go to Rwanda highlights just how much of a gimmick and farce their plan is.
"The truth is from day one the Government have cost the taxpayer eyewatering amounts of money and have failed to fix the issue."
