Former Home Secretary Dame Priti Patel says the Labour Party and a “vocal minority” are the only people celebrating the Supreme Court ruling which ruled that the Government’s policy of sending migrants to Rwanda was unlawful.
Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Dame Priti said she knew the partnership with Rwanda would be challenged in the courts when she negotiated the policy, but saw it as a “necessary and vital measure to break the business model of the people smugglers and reduce illegal migration through small boats”.
