Rishi Sunaks rightward journey on asylum is turning the UK into a darker place The prospect of people who have come to the UK seeking asylum being has moved a step closer, one week after the Safety of Rwanda Act was voted into law.

A statement described the rounding-up of potential deportees as the final phase of operationalising this landmark policy. The plan is for the first flights to take off in 10 to 12 weeks. Arrangements in Rwanda, including the 50-room near Kigali airport, have been made in accordance with the deal signed two years ago.
