Yvette Cooper criticised the Rwanda plan in response to Suella Braverman's defence of the government's asylum policy in the Commons. The policy was deemed illegal by an appeals court on Thursday. The shadow home secretary said: 'The prime minister and home secretary have no plan to fix the Tories' small boats chaos and their only policy to send everyone to Rwanda is now completely unravelling.'
Cooper added that the Rwandan asylum system makes only 100 decisions annually and had a 100% rejection rate for Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen.
Braverman doubled down on the government's policy during her statement, saying the court of appeals decision would be challenged and that the government was determined to continue working with Rwanda.
The home secretary hit out at Labour but was interrupted by the Speaker, who said the debate was not about the opposition but was about the efficacy of the government's policy
