Rwanda farce continues as 70% of properties for Britain’s deportation scheme have been sold off
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak welcomes the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, to 10 Downing Street, London, April 9, 2024

THE Tories’ Rwanda farce continued today as the prime minister hosted the country’s president in Downing Street following reports that 70 per cent of properties for Britain’s stalled deportation scheme have been sold off.

Rishi Sunak was left red-faced as his meeting with Paul Kagame was overshadowed by the revelations over the 163 affordable homes on the estate in Kigali.

Mr Kagame ignored journalists asking whether the housing is being sold off as he entered Number 10 after a manager at Bwiza Riverside Estate told the Times that the homes have been sold to “private people who want to live in them.”
