Lawyers prepare for legal battles on behalf of individual asylum seekers challenging removal to east Africa

Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda deportation bill will become law after peers eventually backed down on amending it, opening the way for legal battles over the potential removal of dozens of people seeking asylum.

After a marathon battle of “ping pong” over the key legislation between the Commons and the Lords, the bill finally passed when opposition and crossbench peers gave way on Monday night.

The bill is expected to be granted royal assent on Tuesday. Home Office sources said they have already identified a group of asylum seekers with weak legal claims to remain in the UK who will be part of the first tranche to be sent to east Africa in July.

Sunak has put the bill, which would deport asylum seekers who arrive in the UK by irregular means to Kigali, at the centre of his attempts to stop small boats crossing the Channel.

14 years of Conservative rule will do that to a country 🤷‍♂️

Labour has been self-sabotaging and removing anyone from leadership that isn't cut from the same neo-liberal cloth that runs the Democratic party.

That doesn't make the Tories any less of the inbred pederast hucksters that they are, but it has played a significant role in helping the Tories stay in power.

You would think they would have learned from Thatcher.

We as a species have a hard time learning from the past, unfortunately. See gestures at world

True. Trump is on the road to being re-elected.
