Campaigners have lost a High Court bid to block the Government’s plan to send migrants to Rwanda, paving the way for the first flight to go ahead on Tuesday. It comes as Prince Charles has privately criticised the government’s policy of deporting migrants to Rwanda, calling the practice “appalling”. The court heard 31 people were due on the first flight on Tuesday, with the Home Office planning to schedule more this year. They all turn up to be photographed on Holocaust Memorial Day but had their #Rwanda policy been enacted 80 years ago even more Jews would have died. Home Office says the flight to Rwanda should take place because it is in the public's interest.
