Priti Patel has accused asylum seekers of “pretending” to be fleeing danger as she “remain committed” to the Tory government’s controversial Rwanda deportation policy.
The Tory Home Secretary launched a desperate attack on asylum seekers after the first flight carrying migrants to Rwanda was cancelled on Tuesday night after multiple legal challenges.
The European Court of Human Rights granted a last-minute stay to one of the seven asylum seekers on the first flight until a full judicial review of the policy in the High Court next month.
