Keir Starmer says scrapping UK’s Rwanda migrant deportation plan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his government will not continue with the previous Conservative government’s policy to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.
“The Rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started. It’s never been a deterrent,” Starmer tells his first news conference, after his Labour Party won a landslide in the general election.
“I’m not prepared to continue with gimmicks that don’t act as a deterrent,” he says, describing it as a “problem that we are inheriting”.
The news conference followed Starmer’s first Cabinet meeting.
The contentious law was approved by Parliament in April and the authorities started detaining asylum seekers in May.

Remember when Keir Starmer kicked Jeremy Corbyn out of the Labour party for being pro-Palestine?
This such unpopular program even supporters are relieved to see go.
I thought it was for him being a dithering fence sitting incompetent that was too soft on antisemites.
And??
@@babajaga158 AND he's a rightwing shill for Israel posing as a leftwing man of the people.
@@babajaga158 Well, well done, if nothing else. What a dithering ninny Corbyn turned out to be. Many of us had hopes for the kid.
Listen carefully......
In a lot of words he is actually saying that nothing will change.
@@ctrl-del630 some people hear what they want to hear.
@@simonward1598nope, some people just aren’t in the cult!
Well, he stopped the Rwanda scheme it’s the second day give the man a chance.
Look, Sunak had a way with words and look what he did . To be honest, I don’t care what he says. I care what they do.
Tories have run us into the ground literally 14 years of horror the Prime Minister has admitted it’s going to take hard work of course it is.
A seamless transition from the Tories, no one will notice the difference. Washington can rely on a slavishly obedient UK government, Washington's blood soaked, carnage laden forever wars shall find no greater or more enthusiastic spear-carrier. Vote often, vote harder, vote like you really mean it this time, your choices are and shall always be Thatcher or Blair. You've chosen your next Blair, that's nice.
Real G
I'm not sure why you're ranting about the _US-UK_ _Special_ _Relationship,_ which is actually an old and unrivaled international partnership among the *5-EYES* members and the Anglosphere + America; i.e., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA, and the UK.
It's easy to forget that the US and the UK are two separate nations. London isn't America's lapdog. If it were, neither Sunak, Blair, Thatcher, nor Churchill would have lost power and their premiership.
Also, the UK would still be a member of the EU[1]. Unlike Russia, Iran, North Korea, and the CCP, Washington, DC, has loyal international allies. Most of whom are other liberal democracies willing to give up some national sovereignty in exchange for US military protection, economic trade, access to American technology, media, drugs, internet, finance, and in support of maintaining the US-led geopolitical hegemony.
_______________________________
[1] The US position on Brexit supported London remaining in the EU. The UK partially defended Washington's foreign and business interest in the EU.
Same government, different clothes.
Old wine in New bottle 😂😂😂
Boris Johnson never meet the the first ministers of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, or England. Also, Boris Johnson didn't even meet the Mayors of the different cities. In fact, under Tory government you lucky if you get a visit from ministers assistant.
You never see Nigel Farage or Sir Ed Davey from the Lib Dems either. Once they in power they disappear. LOL🤣 Wait, who in charge of the Tories, now that Sunak is not Prime Minister?
@@HellBot-gi5si As of now Sunak is still the leader of the Tories afaik
@@sayedibrahimameermeea3537 What are you talking about Boris would drank your wine and leave non for you. LOL🤣
WEF Puppet
Sunak should be in a plane to Rwanda. What a public rejection 😂
Yeah so should slippery starmer.
This guy has more power than Putin now with that majority in parliament. Quiet dangerous considering he is Nentanyahu's poodle
What “majority” he’s relying on seats not votes, he’s extremely weak!
Same horse different jockey!
23:20 Well that’s good to know. So, it would be considered a “failure of government” not to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to the UK.
Same same, no change....he'll be kicked out in 18 mths
People saying why doesn't he speak on or about Palestine? Why should he? Ask Saudia, Egypt, turkey,UAE, Afghanistan to speak about Palestine.
Speaks about Ukraine but not Palestine.
How many Arabs are talking or even caring about Ukraine?
Palestine is an Arab problem therefore it should be up to the Arab states and Israel to solve it amongst themselves. Not an European, American, Asian or British problem. The UK is not the world police and neither is America. After seven decades of interventionism it's high time we stop and let countries sort out their own mess. This means Ukraine as well.
@@sylezjusz? Why can't he talk about both? Starmer isn't Ukrainian!
@@sylezjusz That's an "interesting" take on human rights. You're definitely PM material, or executioner
Dont you think its quiet normal for a newly elected UK prime minister to talk about domestic problems? Im sure his first cabinet meeting involved talks about palestine.
Labor is just the other side of the crooked coin!
12:57 for "tough decisions", you can understand he means "big cuts to public services"
Claims to be in such a financial disaster and this clown decided to _"support Ukraine"_ instead of using that money to fix NHS. Democracy is just a drama. People behind the curtain will rule as they wish, while faces of PM change for the public satisfaction
last time under Labour the NHS lost money thanks to the Dunblane cover up and lies and the Iraq war.
He’s been in power for two days bro 😭 all of the problems in the uk aren’t going to be fixed overnight
@@gabrielboley9585 he’s the leader of the country, he’s supposed to have a vision, not keep relying on “there’s no money tree” because that doesn’t apply when it come to forever wars!
@@gabrielboley9585 in that two days he went on blabbering about Ukraine but not about allocation of funds to NHS. how many years do you want to wait? another 14 years?
@@badbadbadcat What are you even talking about? Do you not know what a Prime minister has to do in their first weeks of office? They have tour the country, start strategising about policies and what order they need to put them in for the public in terms of needs and wants (just because it’s not your priority doesn’t mean it’s everyone else you narcissist) so right now he’s focusing on foreign policy to repair our relationship with other nations to then help trade relationships and also Ukraine is currently our go between Russia encroaching into Europe while also trying to prevent nuclear war (I doubt the NHS would be any good then, yeah?) so yes he’s going to address Ukraine as that is the number one global issue right now.
Why don’t you give it a month or so for the government to go down the laundry list of screw ups that the Tories have caused and how they are going to fix it? Instead of sperging out that they haven’t fixed everything in the TWO days they’ve been in office.
Jfc I swear the average British citizen has the iq of a pint of Guinness.
Nice words early doors eyes wide opened
U get the elected officials u deserve ...well done England
@@Name-jw4sj exactly well done England
Sorry Gaza, but I don't think you're the UK number one priority. The UK is.
The UK started the mess in Gaza when they declared Palestine home to EUROPEAN Jewish refugees. Your beloved UK has caused many problems throughout history for other nations and then you guys sit back and sip your tea
no israel is, that is why we send them so much aid, whilst british people cant eat
@jonathanchester5916 yeah, uk is too busy sending money to Ukraine instead of sorting domestic business out lol
@@linesided it was the UK that started the mess in Gaza in 1947 by enforcing and encouraging the migration of European Jewish refugees to Palestine. That's what the British empire has always done - create a mess in other nations then sit back and sip their tea.
Not even arab care about Palestine 😂😂 biggest hypocrisy is ummah
he's reading someone else's word's. And he's a war monger. 🤮🤢🤮🤢
Not a single word or question about Gaza?
Because this is the UK not Gaza
Gaza is not in the UK. Feel free to move Gaza
@@RJM1011 they're sending your taxes there

This Rwanda project was never going to happen. It was a way to wire money to Congo via Rwanda to buy weapons for militant groups in groups in the DRC.
Staunch Labour supporter but I really DO NOT LIKE OR TRUST THIS MAN.
Said like s true racist
What's a mistake having him as PM🙈🙉🙊
Why mistake , he will make islam the no 1 religion in UK 😂😂😂
The new captain of the sinking ship we call “Great Britain”
Shame on you over Palestine, Keir Starmer! Shame on you!
NO one in Hamas gives a toss about the UK !
@@RJM1011they're sending your taxes there
@@RJM1011 Exactly right - Palestine had 75 years to get their act together. It's their problem, not ours. I doubt the Arab world is coming to UK for our benefit any time soon. More like land and money grabbing and laughing at us sappy westerners.
Gaza isn't an important issue to the UK in any way. You're so concerned about Gaza then go there
@@arandomlemon6707 I paid NO tax on £40,000.00 this year ! 😂😂😂😂
Focus on the British working class, the British middle class, and the very poor....and be transformational about it. And you will be remembered as a great leader.
Focus on the very rich and the military and you will be remembered as a Tory-lite leader who failed to live up to the times.
Thank the ancestors. This Rwanda deal was a second "israel" in the making. One Alkebulan in our lifetime
Imagine if they had been able to build a prosperous country like Israel in Africa. Africa is such a big country they could probably fit a few refugees somewhere, but that would have to be decided by the whole country, and not just a few politicians handing out bags of money. This whole plan was a right wing hate policy from the start.
This man will be an epic failure.
If he fails, it will be in large part because of the huge hole dug by the Conservatives. People should have reasonable expectations given the poor state of affairs in the UK.
Frist red flag was Ukraine
Will ??? IS
Probably like Javier Milei.
Wow, salty conservatives .
it was never a "plan" - sunak and the rest of them were just stalling for years, while they were pumping in millions of hostile migrants.
I’d really like to understand people like you that think immigrants are the problem not politicians!
Less than a quarter of adults in the uk voted for this government. Corbyn got more votes 🕊️✊🏼✊🏽🇵🇸
Relevance?
@@ephraimsimable There's always going to be people like this complaining about the election. You'd think adults would be able to think like adults. The simple fact of the matter is that the people that didn't vote chose to do so, knowing the consequences. 40% of the electorate didn't vote, and that is entirely their own doing. Either make your voice heard, or sit back and let the people that can be bothered to vote do it for you.
It would be nice to see money go all over the kingdom not just London..
But London is built of foreign corruption proceeds though.
Your Service number one should be to your People not Corrupt Ukraine

He won't be able to do anything about it.

He won’t , the government keep give France money to stop migrants crossing but that failed

Who cares. That's an arab problem.

Is it true that the last Labour PM was back in 2010?
Rishi Sunak kick kick kick out 👇👇🏻

Prisons in the uk are way too chill they need to make punishment more severe and longer sentences and not make normal people’s taxes go to feed them and make them live better inside then the people outside they need to make prison more tough and teach them
He’s awful. Will just fulfil the WEF agenda. More theatre and circus
All about Ukrainian yet again , i though he was for British people not about Ukrainian all the time,
Bro... Good luck!!!
Peace!!! And an Independent State of Palestine in accordance with International law!!!
Voted in by 15 percent of the uks population
Well, perhaps if the others who could vote did vote we wouldn't have this kind of inane comment any more

We live in hopeful times😊
Why is the Labour Party second? Surely no political party deserves to be second behind the nation.
Maybe you guys need to take a chill pill. Coming from a country where every seat in the Lower House of Parliament was won by the current government twice in a row after a terrible eleven years by the previous administration, it was hard at first to hear that things will take a while to get better and that tough decisions will have to be made. It will take time and the path will be rocky, but on that journey, once there is honesty and forthrightness, people will come to understand and appreciate the efforts being made.
I wish your country all the best.
Remember Sunak promise of transparency and honesty that was thrown under the bus after first mess up.
So what now? Silence & no action. "We will now place emphasis on actions not words" Er - but just words - absolutely no actions or plans for actions, or a process to actions.
People who voted for this man are the sort of people to poo their pants and only change their shirt! 🙄
And there we are. Millions of £s spent on the rwanda bill to deter migrants and now labour fully opens the door. Well done all those who voted labour. This is the final nail in the coffin to this country. Can you imagine how much we owe Rwanda and how much is going to be paid to Rwanda for pulling out of a deal? Unbelievable.
KEIR's accent goes from UP-NORTH to SOUTH AFRICAN to SOUTHERN WUSSIE...amazing how he manages to encompass the UK's diverse community in 30 mins of speaking...wonderful script writing by Mi6.

His vote share was lower than Corbin as well, trust legacy media Beth not to mention that!

What is clear is that sir starmer is our new prime minister not a wizard
Good speech Prime Minister
Change!
Leopard never change his spots
Ditched the red tie in favour of one matching the colour coming out his mouth
So if the migrants don’t go to Rwanda are they going back to the UK?
Same corrupt as previous
Wait till Starmer finds he can't send Afghans, Iranians and Syrians back to their own country. He'll revive the Rwanda plan, or something similar.
What scientific physical force prevents such deportations to said countries??
@@nostro1940 maybe make yourself familiar with rules based systems or are you advocating we resort to anarchy!

5:50 you can tell by the way that politicians address journalists like their friends that we have a completely co-opted ineffectual political media.
The people will get the government that you voted for.
Yup and people voted him😊
Hmmm- an that is what concerns me!!
Not necessarily what the people actually voted for has happened.
66% voted against him. They only got 34% of the vote which was mostly protest votes.
Isn't that kinda the point of elections... Are you Russian by any chance 😂

Why, do you think things will be any better from now on?
You got same name😂😂😂😂😂

Has Starmer decided what a woman is since his appointment to Prime Minister?
Yes. Blair explained it to him!
Please fulfill the promise of former PM Sunak dream project and send his family to Rwanda. He deserves Africa as his grand parents came from the same continent.
Keep dreaming
Got 34% of the vote and is claiming to have a mandate, pathetic.
He seems to be very serious about everything although he can't promise quick change for good. It is understandable the damages so deep . At least his not criticising No one. No one asked about welfare reform with this stupid UC.
So Starmer points out high recitivism and failure of prison systems overall even not just in the UK- but then fails to mention any desire of improving policies for rehabilitation of criminal behaviour nor the ties to socio-economic status, and in regards to political violence- voter disenfranchisement and how radicalization increases as a result
Self intrests is politics of yesterday indeed congratulations starmer
