When the Tories were in power, one of the harshest critics of the government’s Rwanda scheme to deport asylum seekers were the Refugee Council, who branded the plan, among other things, as ‘absurd and inhumane’ and ‘slam[ming] our door in the face of refugees in search of safety.’

Mr S was therefore curious to know what solutions to the asylum crisis would be proposed by the charity, at its event entitled ‘After Rwanda: Building an Asylum System That Has Public Support’, taking place at Labour conference this afternoon.
