Tories vote to keep Rwanda deal costs secret

[pellinore]

People are starting to wonder if the Rwanda Plan is being kept alive even though it is unworkable and illegal because so many people are making big money out of it. It may be like the VIP PPE 'fast lanes'- shell companies set up by cronies who are becoming millionaires out of tax-payers money:

Cowardly Tories have voted to keep the cost of the Rwanda deportation scheme secret - with Rishi Sunak accused of looking like a "dodgy salesman PM".

In a scathing broadside, Labour's Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper urged ministers to finally set the record straight over claims they've promised £400million to the African nation. On top of this, she estimated it could cost taxpayers an extra £200,000 for every person sent there.

Facing MPs in the Commons, Migration Minister Tom Pursglove refused to contradict the figures. Ms Cooper told him: "Taxpayers have a right to know how much of their money this Government has promised to the Rwandan Government in exchange frankly for a series of press releases."

But MPs voted by 304 to 228 against a Labour motion calling for the project's costs and key documents to be released.
