Rishi Sunak confident of overturning Rwanda migrant plan verdict
Telegraph says Downing Street is confident that it will be able to deport migrants to Rwanda despite the Court of Appeal blocking the plan on Thursday, The Telegraph understands.
Rishi Sunak is said to be “positive” about the prospect of overturning the judgment after declaring that the Government would seek permission to appeal against the decision in the Supreme Court.
The Prime Minister said he “fundamentally disagreed” with the Court of Appeal, which ruled that Rwanda was not safe and that deportation of asylum-seekers there was therefore unlawful.
