Home Office warns that European court intervention is 'critical' threat to Rwanda plan

The Telegraph  

Home Office officials have warned of a “high risk” that European judges will block deportations to Rwanda, The Telegraph can disclose. A “risk register” drawn up by civil servants highlighted the prospect of a fresh injunction from Strasbourg as a significant threat that could derail the scheme designed to deter illegal Channel crossings by migrants. It also warned of the risk of an “increased number of individuals absconding prior to detention”, leading to a “possible delay to first flight if insufficient numbers” – and suggested that the Ministry of Defence was preparing contingency aircraft to fly migrants to Rwanda if charter companies refused the work. Amid public anger over illegal migration, a Public First poll conducted last month shows that 43 per cent of people planning to vote for the Conservatives at the next election would consider voting for a party led by Nigel Farage.
