ACTORS and TV personalities have signed an open letter calling on the government to scrap its Rwanda deportation scheme and come up with a fair new plan for refugees.
It comes as Tory infighting deepens ahead of the government’s desperate parliamentary bid to revive its flagship “stop the boats” policy tomorrow.
Succession star Brian Cox, Match of The Day presenter Gary Lineker, women’s rights campaigner Helen Pankhurst, Hotel Rwanda star Sophie Okonedo and TV chef Big Zuu, the son of a refugee from Sierra Leone, joined forces to brand Britain’s refugee system “ever-more uncaring, chaotic and costly.”
