The Independent – Macron savages Sunak’s cynical Rwanda policy 

The Independent says Home secretary James Cleverly hit out at ‘distasteful’ and ‘lazy’ criticism of policy, but insisted he was not talking about French leader’s remarks. 

French President Emmanuel Macron has denounced Rishi Sunak’s plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda as the politics of “cynicism” and a betrayal of European values. Macron also warned it would be “ineffective”, just days after the scheme – designed to give thousands a one-way ticket to the African country – cleared its final parliamentary hurdle in the UK.
