The government’s controversial Rwanda policy was given short shrift by a Question Time audience last night.

Debating plans to send asylum seekers to East Africa, presenter Fiona Bruce asked: ″Is there anyone here who supports what the government is doing?”.

Everyone in the audience barring one person kept their hand down.

“These people are willing to risk their life. I wouldn’t give a damn about going to Rwanda”, one audience member said.

“I’d be more concerned about the risk of crossing the Channel in a small dinghy.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
