Boris Johnson doubles down on Archbishop of Canterbury attack & says Rwanda policy is ‘morally right’

BORIS Johnson last night doubled down on his attack on the Archbishop of Canterbury saying his Rwanda policy was “morally right.”

And he accused the BBC of getting the wrong end of the stick on immigration.

The head of the Church of England had claimed plans to deport migrants to Africa was “ungodly”.

But the PM said “It’s a sensible brave and original policy.”

And he heaped praise on the Home Secretary, saying: “Priti Patel has come up with something that is extremely difficult to pull off. I think she has done an outstanding job.”

But he turned fire on the BBC saying they had “misconstrued” the policy to trash talk it for days.

The PM frothed: “the policy was misconstrued on the BBC and by some parts of the clergy. That’s what I said.

"By the way I had just come off phone to PK of Rwanda who was making that exact point to me”

“I thought it has been misconstrued

“As far as I understand it, it was all alright until the today programme piled in.”

“I think that the policy is the right one and I defend that.”
