A Tory bid to deport migrants even when judges rule it is against their human rights has been crushed at the first hurdle.
Boris Johnson was said to be among MPs who backed a law to “proceed with removals” to Rwanda, “regardless” of any decision by an international court.
But in a rare move, MPs blocked it from going any further in the Commons after less than 15 minutes of debate - and Mr Johnson did not turn up to the vote.
