Rwanda Bill: Keir Starmer says PM has been ‘brutally exposed’ by Conservative MPs

Speaking at prime minister’s questions today, Labour leader Keir Starmer said the PM had been brutally exposed by his own MPs over the Rwanda deportation plan.

Starmer said: “He has been brutally exposed by his own MPs yet again. He’s got one party chair who says she hopes the Lords will rip his Rwanda deal to pieces.

“He’s got two more who had to quit because they don’t think it’ll work. All of them appointed by him. All now in open revolt against his policy, each other and reality”.

The prime minister responded by referring the Labour leader’s past work as a lawyer representing the terrorist group Hizb ut-Tahri.

Rishi Sunak said: “We have another example of the honourable gentleman doing one thing, saying another, because it is this week he backed the home secretary in banning the terrorist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, despite him personally using the European Court of Human Rights to try and stop them being banned”.

He added: “When I see a group chanting jihad on our streets, I ban them. He invoices them”.

PMQs verdict: Keir Starmer can’t lose as long as Rwanda plan looms
