Home Secretary Priti Patel (pictured) announced the Rwanda scheme in April, describing it as a world-first agreement , but it is yet to remove anyone via the pathway owing to legal objections.
The Home Secretary last night defiantly vowed to plough ahead with her flagship migration plan despite a Strasbourg judge s extraordinary 11th-hour intervention blocked the first flight.
Left-wing figures, including lawyers, politicians and activists, were among those openly celebrating the ECHR s extraordinary intervention that saw the UK s first Rwanda-bound flight grounded.
MPs and ministers called for the UK to withdraw from European Court of Human Rights after it intervened to stop an Iraqi citizen being deported - just before the flight was due to take off.
