An interview with an MP on Good Morning Britain grew heated when he was asked about the government’s plans to fly asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Host Adil Ray grilled Tom Pursglove, minister for justice and tackling illegal migration, when he made an appearance on the ITV show to discuss the new scheme. The government announced on Thursday that £120 million is set to be invested into the plans, which will see people arriving in the UK seeking asylum flown to Rwanda for processing.
The scheme has been heavily criticised, with North East groups branding it “utterly inhumane” . And GMB host Adil made his stance on the scheme clear as he turned up the heat on the minister, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
