Voters give brutal one phrase verdict on Conservative Party’s immigration plans

Voters have given their verdict on the Tory Party’s botched immigration plans.

Rishi Sunak’s Government is in disaster after the Supreme Court dominated his scheme to ship asylum seekers to Rwanda is illegal. Ahead of the judgment, YouGov requested the general public to explain the Conservatives’ insurance policies on immigration in their very own phrases.

The mostly used phrases included inhumane and racist. The polling was performed on behalf of Labour Together. YouGov interviewed 2,059 adults on-line in Great Britain on November 13 and 14.

The PM is going through calls to desert his Rwanda plan as soon as and for all after it was torn to shreds within the courts. Mr Sunak has insisted he needs to attempt to salvage the £140million scheme to deport all small boat arrivals, together with refugees looking for sanctuary. But campaigners have known as on him to “draw a line under” the “disgraceful chapter” within the nation’s historical past.

In an enormous blow to the Government, judges on the Supreme Court unanimously dominated that the plan was unlawful, as they warned refugees risked being put at risk by being despatched to Rwanda. It got here after greater than 18 months of wrangling. Mr Sunak refused to apologise for spending tens of hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ money on the challenge as Labour chief Keir Starmer at PMQs warned he had “wasted all his time on a gimmick and now he’s absolutely nowhere”.

Home Secretary James Cleverly mentioned the Government has been engaged on a brand new treaty with Rwanda that will likely be unveiled inside days in a bid to handle the issues of the courts.

He added that the Government is ready to vary legal guidelines in the event that they proceed to dam the plan.

Yvette Cooper declared that the PM’s “flagship policy has completely failed”. The Shadow Home Secretary mentioned: “This damning judgment on his Rwanda policy, where he has already spent more than £140 million of taxpayers’ money, exposes Rishi Sunak’s failure to get any grip or have any serious plan to tackle dangerous boat crossings, which are undermining border security and putting lives at risk.

“Labour argued from the start this plan is unworkable and extortionately expensive, now it has been confirmed as unlawful because the government failed to ensure they had a robust and workable policy. Ministers knew about the weaknesses in this scheme from the start and yet they insisted on making it their flagship policy.”
