Tory attempts to halt the flow of Channel migrants by threatening to send them to Rwanda have flopped, MPs say today.
The Commons Home Affairs Select Committee blasted “radical quick-fix solutions” to the crisis, warning they “will fail to stop Channel crossings”.
The scathing verdict is a fresh blow to lame duck Prime Minister Boris Johnson and under-fire Home Secretary Priti Patel, who pioneered a deal with the African nation to accept migrants who succeeded in making the perilous journey across the Dover Strait to Britain.
