It's cowardly triangulation intended to straddle the issue, rather than denounce the policy.
By the presumed future minister in charge. If boat crossings to the UK fall following implementation of Rwanda deportations (more a gamble than a hypothetical) they'll continue the program.
Starmer's shadow cabinet - including Yvette Cooper, shadow home secretary - have simply asserted the program is "too expensive". That's their sole opposition to the new rule. Not that they won't go through with it, but that they don't want to pay for it.
