Daily Express - Threat to quit rights treaty if Rwanda blocked again

Summary of the front page

A close ally of the prime minister has threatened to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights if deportation flights to Rwanda stay grounded, the Daily Express reports.

Immigration minister Robert Jenrick says he is “very confident” the Supreme Court will rule in favour of plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, but that he will do “whatever is necessary” to end the small boats crisis, the paper reports. 

The front page says his comments come after being asked whether the UK would quit the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) if the government loses.
