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.
At least 150 migrants have crossed the Channel today as low winds have created ideal weather conditions for crossing attempts in small boats - just one day after the relocation flight to Rwanda was grounded.
