Labour MP brands Tory Minister embarrassing after TV blunder
Shadow Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds described a government minister's appearance on Question Time as "incredibly embarrassing" after he appeared to ask if Rwanda and Congo were different countries.
When discussing the government policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, policing minister Chris Philp responded to an audience memberās question during the BBC One programme by asking: āRwanda is a different country of Congo, isnāt it?ā
Mr Reynolds said the Rwanda scheme has caused "significant damage to the reputation of the UK around the world." The government's Rwanda bill, which was passed in parliament last week, says any asylum seeker entering the UK "illegally" after 1 January 2022, from a safe country such as France, could be sent to Rwanda.
