Sunak has called election to avoid ‘Rwanda test,’ Starmer says

LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer accused Prime Minister Rishi Sunak today of calling an early election to avoid a “Rwanda test.”

Mr Sunak conceded earlier in the day that flights under the Tory scheme to deport migrants to the country would not take off before the election on July 4.

He said that the “preparation work” had already been done and urged voters to back him if they wanted the plans to go ahead.
