Will Rishi’s Rwanda flights policy really work? | Westminster Source
A new law aimed at finally getting Rwanda deportation flights off the ground is about to be passed by Parliament, two years after the policy was first announced.
Rishi Sunak believes deporting asylum-seekers who arrive in the UK illegally to Rwanda will reduce small boat crossings. Labour has vowed to scrap the policy, arguing it is a gimmick.
So will the plan really work? Could legal challenges tie the policy up in the courts again, as critics claim? And even if the flights get going, will they change the dynamics of the general election?
The latest instalment of The Telegraph’s Westminster Source takes a look.
