"It's Mad!" Alex Phillips Talks Continued Set Backs To Rishi Sunak's Rwanda Plan

Talk's Alex Phillips reacts to plans to derail the Rwanda asylum plan through the courts.

The High Court in Belfast this week delivered the latest legal setback to the Rwanda scheme, after a judge ruled that provisions of the UK’s Illegal Migration Act should be disapplied in Northern Ireland, as they undermine human rights protections guaranteed in the region under post-Brexit arrangements.

Ministers have insisted that will not prevent flights getting off the ground in early July under the timetable set out by Rishi Sunak, in part because they rely on other legislation.

Alex says: "It's looking like it's going to be fewer than 10 people on the flight."
