Shadow Policing Minister Alex Norris said the Rwanda treaty is "not the answer" to a problem that "requires a serious answer." The minister said the Rwanda policy would not be part of Labour's approach to small boats as it fails to tackle criminal gangs.
It comes as Home Secretary James Cleverly travelled to Rwanda yesterday to sign the new treaty in a bid to fulfil the government's plan to send asylum seekers to the African nation.

Thousands across the UK protested against far-right riots, sparked by a stabbing suspect identified as a Rwandan-born Cardiff resident. Major demonstrations unfolded in cities like London, Bristol, and Birmingham, with anti-racist crowds often outnumbering far-right groups. Heavy police deployment curbed planned far-right rallies. The unrest, fueled by false claims linking the suspect to Islam, resulted in injuries, looting, and over 100 rioters charged.

The home secretary insists she will take urgent action to start clearing the asylum backlog in "one simple change" that she says will "save the taxpayer an estimated seven billion pounds over the next 10 years".

James Cleverly said the government have been too slow to act following the riots throughout the UK. The shadow home secretary said: "It is right that the people involved in this will feel the full force of the law. They should have got Cobra up and running much earlier than they have done but it's important now that they send a message that this action is unacceptable."
