So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Ridiculously undemocratic that @Keir_Starmer thinks he can raise the Brexitanic with a 🇺🇸 FTA by forcing us to eat chlorinated chicken and hormone fed beef.

We had a Referendum on Brexit when no one really wanted one, and no one knew what it was.
Now we want one and we know what we are voting for.
We aren't allowed one.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
