Priti Patel faces Home Office mutiny over Rwanda migrants plan
The TelegraphPriti Patel is facing a mutiny from Home Office civil servants over her controversial Rwanda policy after a leading mandarin formally challenged its value for money. The threat from civil servants will reinforce concerns among top Conservatives about the dysfunctional nature of the Home Office which has repeatedly faced questions over its handling of immigration. Home Office sources confirmed that Ms Patel had to force civil servants to sign off on the Rwanda partnership plan by issuing a ministerial direction – required when officials challenge policy proposals on value for money grounds. It is only the second ministerial direction the Home Office has received in the past 30 years, along with bringing forward the Windrush compensation scheme before legislation.
