The UK government has once again voted to deport Afghan war heroes who helped British troops fight the Taliban to Rwanda. The move has been widely condemned by opposition MPs, who branded it a “disgrace”. The government insists that the policy is necessary to deter illegal immigration, but critics argue that it is cruel and inhumane. The vote came after a bitter clash in the Commons, where Labour MPs called for an exemption for those who assisted UK forces overseas. The amendment was defeated by a majority of 305 to 234. MPs also rejected a further amendment to Rishi Sunak’s controversial Safety of Rwanda Bill which would set up an independent body to assess if asylum seekers can safely be sent there. The vote sets up another clash between the Commons and the House of Lords, which has already rejected the Bill.
