It was explicitly a hypothetical thought experiment

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 has already said they wouldn’t go through with the Rwanda plan

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.
