'This Entire Situation Is A JOKE!' | Up To 90,000 Migrants Could STAY In UK Under Labour Policy

Yvette Cooper said the cost of the “indefinitely rising” asylum backlog in hotel and accommodation support bills is “astronomical”, telling MPs: “The potential costs of asylum support over the next four years, if we continue down this track, could be an eye-watering £30 billion to £40 billion – that is double the annual police budget for England and Wales.”

The Home Secretary said ending the migration and economic development partnership (MEDP) with Rwanda would save £220 million on further direct payments over the next few years, adding: “We will immediately save up to £750 million that had been put aside by the previous government to cover the MEDP this year.”

Ms Cooper said some of the money saved would be invested into a new border security command, adding a “serious returns and enforcement programme” would replace the Rwanda MEDP.

Talk's Kevin O'Sullivan is joined by international editor Isabel Oakeshott and says it's the Labour Party responsible for the "massive waste of money" that was the Rwanda scheme.
