Sunak Doubts Rwanda Flights This Summer.

[Gromit]

// Rishi Sunak has raised doubts that asylum flights to Rwanda will take off by the summer, despite official briefings during Suella Braverman’s trip to the African country that plans were on track.

During an appearance at the Commons liaison committee, the prime minister told MPs that “no one has promised flights by the summer” after he was pressed over the deterrent effect of the policy so far.

However, a Home Office source on the trip earlier this month told reporters “we are certainly working towards getting the flights off before the summer” with several news organisations interpreting that as a pledge to remove migrants under the scheme. //

Don’t hold your breath.
Stop the Boats has now taken a strange turn - they intend to house them on Cruise Ships.

They should just ignore any so called legal judgements and get the flights off the ground.

He really is trying to lose the next GE isn't he. As if his NI/EU wasn't enough on it's own. (Speaking of which, his dropping NI in it, with the help of an anti-UK parliament, just to please the EU, seems to have already triggered trouble; with one faction considering themselves abandoned by him and the other faction deciding the time is right to push the issues and cause a raised threat level.)

Or maybe his just a realistic and knows flights won't happen....the appeals process and protests will make sure a that

[Old_Geezer]

Isn't the new legislation supposed to nip that in the bud, or have they failed again ?

Just needs Gary Lineker to lead the protests

put a load on a few military transport planes, they could really pack them in, and just do it and ignore the courts, id call it a national emergency for security reasons.
