UK taxpayers face £100 million bill after Rwanda migrant plan scrapped

Taxpayers face a potential £100 million bill after the UK's scrapped Rwanda migrant plan led to a lawsuit. Labour's delay in formally informing Rwanda of the deal's termination, despite making the decision in July 2024, has resulted in Rwanda lodging a claim for unpaid payments. The UK has already spent millions on the scheme, which was ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court before being legislated by the previous government.
