Lord Blunkett: Rwanda plan is merely 'virtue signalling'

The Rwanda plan is merely “virtue signalling” to the public, and will not solve the UK’s migration issues, Labour former home secretary Lord Blunkett said.

Speaking in the Lords, the New Labour-era former minister said: “This is nothing to do with finding solutions, it is everything to do to virtue signalling... the scapegoats are of course the Opposition, the courts themselves, and this House.” Report by Covellm.
