A divisive Home Office flight to Rwanda tomorrow now faces taking barely 10 asylum seekers - if it takes off at all, it is understood.
It is thought the number of people due to be on the charter plane has shrunk dramatically after a wave of individual legal challenges.
It was initially reported 130 people could be on the plane. But by last night that had shrunk to just over 10, a government source told the Mirror. The source predicted that, by the time of the next update this morning, the number would be less than 10.
