Rwanda treaty may satisfy our Supreme Court but it still won’t stop Labour from scrapping policy

Rwanda may have done enough to satisfy our Supreme Court.
It still won’t satisfy Parliament.
Because, on “principle”, the Labour-led opposition, every left-wing campaign outfit and every activist lawyer will do anything to stop illegal migrants ever being flown to Africa.

The stakes could not be higher.
Politicians on both continents are baulking at the cost of keeping aid and arms flowing. It is catastrophically short-sighted.

The NHS these militants claim to cherish will be all but crippled.
Their sole concerns are clear: Money, time off and damaging the Tories.
As for sick patients, they’ll have to suffer longer while the doctors go shopping.

WHY does the BBC appear hell-bent on bankrupting local papers and news sites?
Our views on its licence fee — an unjustifiable £4billion-a-year tax — are well known.
