[HIGHLIGHTS] In the UK, the cost of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda goes badly

In the UK, the cost of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda goes badly. The cost of Rishi Sunak's plan to send asylum seekers back to Rwanda could exceed £580million.

The bill for the “Rwanda plan” is steep, as we can read in the Financial Times on March 1, 2024: 580 million pounds sterling, or nearly 680 million euros. This is what the taxpayer will pay if the controversial plan, signed for five years with Kigali, comes into force.
