    In first big move, UK PM scraps Sunaks migrant deportation plan

    In his first press conference after being elected as UK PM, Labour Partys Keir Starmer on Saturday said he was "not prepared" to continue with the previous Rishi Sunak-led Conservative governments Rwanda migrants deportation scheme. The Rwanda plan, finalised in April 2022 under the leadership of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, stipulates that individuals who entered the United Kingdom unlawfully after January 1, 2022, will be relocated to Rwanda, a country situated approximately 4,000 miles (6,400 km) from Britain.
