Suella Braverman Hails Rwanda Asylum Housing After Visit
The Home Secretary Suella Braverman has returned to the House of Commons today to once again defend her controversial migration bill after a trip to Rwanda.
Over the weekend, Braverman took a tour of a possible migrant housing complex in the east African state’s capital, Kigali.
She appeared delighted with the project, despite it still being embroiled in a legal battle, which has seen a total of zero migrant flights land in the country since she announced the plan last year.
It’s already cost the government £140 million.
