Rishi Sunak admitted on LBC that no Rwanda deportation flights will take off prior to the General Election in July.
Speaking to Nick Ferrari this morning, Mr Sunak said that the first flights will take off ‘in July’, but refused to be drawn on the exact date.On the Rwanda plan he said that "15 other European countries agree with me."“Keir Starmer doesn’t believe in that plan, he would scrap that plan and offer illegal migrants an amnesty and make us the soft touch of Europe.
Dame Andrea Jenkyns, who has called for Mr Sunak to go, said she understood "other letters have been going in" to 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady but "colleagues, it's too late, I told you six months ago we should have done this".Just two more days of Commons business have been scheduled, during which important legislation will have to be rushed through.
