Rishi Sunak said he was willing to 'revisit domestic legal frameworks' to stop small boats crossing the Channel after the UK supreme court ruled his policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda was unlawful. Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub
In a heated exchange in the House of Commons, Keir Starmer asked Sunak to admit he had failed to 'stop the boats', one of the prime minister's key pledges. 'He bet everything on it and now he is totally exposed. The central pillar of his government has crumbled beneath him,' the Labour leader said. Downing Street said the scheme, for which it has paid £140m to the Rwandan government, would be a deterrent for growing numbers of asylum seekers reaching the UK via small boats travelling across the Channel, a claim that refugee charities have rejected.
