THE Tories have been accused of lacking compassion, imagination, or even “basic humanity” after attempting to ignore international courts and deport people seeking asylum to Rwanda.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was among the figures to hit out at the Conservatives for their attempt to ignore the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which came on the same day as four people died trying to cross the Channel to England.
Jonathan Gullis, a former Conservative minister, had attempted to force Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to ignore rulings from the ECHR over the deportation of asylum seekers to Rwanda.
