The business secretary has sought to paint the voluntary removal of an asylum seeker to Rwanda as a 'victory' for the government's pledge to 'stop the boats' - amid criticism of an 'extortionate pre-election gimmick'.

The fact a failed asylum seeker volunteered to go to Rwanda demonstrates that claims the country is not safe are 'untrue', Kemi Badenoch has said. The business secretary also declared there is no 'cost-free option' on border security, as she defended the 'minimal' price tag of sending migrants there.

' While no one has been deported under the other scheme, she insisted the plan was 'working' as a deterrent, pointing to recent comments made by the Irish government. The Irish government has complained that the threat of deportation is driving migrants across the border into the republic and has called on the UK to take them back.
