John, the Conservatives’ Rwanda Scheme has passed its final stage in Parliament.

The Liberal Democrats have always opposed this unworkable, immoral and extortionately expensive scheme.

It betrays the UK’s proud tradition of providing sanctuary to refugees fleeing war and persecution.

It’s wasted millions of taxpayers’ money already, despite no flights taking off.

While the Bill will now become law, our fight continues.

The Rwanda scheme is a colossal failure, no matter how much the Conservatives spin it.

We must continue to push for safe, legal routes which stop the dangerous Channel crossings while treating asylum seekers with dignity.

Best wishes,
