Strong words have been delivered by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to people trying to block the Government's move to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. The controversial deal between the UK and African nation has been heavily criticised by many.
Legal battles have taken place over the last few days as lawyers attempt to stop the first plane taking off from British soil today (June 14). However, the last-ditch efforts have so far failed.
During a cabinet meeting today, Mr Johnson slammed those trying to stop the flights from taking off. The PM told his cabinet: “They are, I’m afraid, undermining everything that we’re trying to do to support safe and legal routes for people to come to the UK and to oppose the illegal and dangerous routes.”
