Judgement Day for the government’s controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda has been set for Wednesday next week. The Supreme Court is set to rule on the lawfulness of the Home Office policy, either killing off the idea in its current guise or paving the way for the first flights to the east African nation.
The decision will be a crucial moment for Rishi Sunak’s government in its pursue of its “Stop the Boats” pledge, having gambled that shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda would deter others from making the journey to the UK.
