Who would have guessed?! Now to wait and see how many commentators and newspaper editors call the judges ‘enemies of the people’.

Another couple of million spent fighting court actions that were never going to come to fruition. These scumbags do not care one iota that it is failing. This is only ever meant to be a distraction from the real theft that they do elsewhere. Even if this did happen by some remote chance, Labour would have revoked it asap, because of EHCR rules that forbid this.

No, the Rwanda deal itself is theft. The British taxpayer pays for everything - we pay to house the migrants until the deal goes through. We pay to send them over there. We pay for the infrastructure there.
We pay for the vulnerable migrants Rwanda is sending us in return.
Meanwhile Suella Braverman gets to follow in her daddy’s footsteps and run a for-profit business in the form of a concentration camp in Africa. At the British taxpayer’s expense, of course.

There are no published details regarding contracts. I fully expect to agree with you, but until we have those facts, you cannot hold this line. Once they are out of office, Angela Raynor has said she will be looking into stuff like this. I wait for the day, not long now.

Maybe not on specific contracts and who pays for what, however Article 16 of the Rwanda agreement explicitly states the UK will accept vulnerable migrants from Rwanda in return for sending migrants to Rwanda.

How many hours of work and how much money has been spent on this tabloid fantasy policy? What if we used all of those resources to … actually tackle the (massive) asylum backlog. Absolutely inevitable this was going to be shut down and so much effort has gone to waste pursuing it.
