Putting humans in two decades-long limbo is the sign of a government that has completely lost its moral compass, but how many other Labour MPs will have the courage to say “not in my name”?
The Prime Minister said in September that we are at a fork in the road. These asylum proposals suggest we have taken the wrong turning.
The idea that recognised refugees need to be deported is wrong.

No-one seems to recall that the Tory proposal wasn't for a processing centre in Rwanda, or for deportations of failed asylum seekers there, but for asylum seekers arriving in the UK to be sent to Rwanda and then treated as applicants for asylum *in Rwanda*. That's a huge difference.
