The government’s Rwanda deportation plan is the “last substantial card” the prime minister has left to play against the Labour Party ahead of the next general election, a polling expert has said.
Polling guru professor Sir John Curtice was reacting this morning to the passage of the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill last night, which enables the full scheme.
The plan seeks to deport asylum seekers arriving in the UK via small boats to the African nation.
Sir John was asked how important a moment the legislation’s passage could be electorally for the Conservatives.
