'Enough is enough' Rwanda flights to go ahead without further delays - Rishi Sunak

Good morning. Last week, yet again, Labour peers in the House of Lords contrived to stop the Safety of Rwanda Bill. For almost 2 years our opponents have used every trick in the book to block flights and keep the boats coming. But enough is enough. No more prevarication, no more delay. Parliament would sit there tonight and vote, no matter how late it goes. No ifs, no buts. These flights are going to Rwanda. We are going to deliver this indispensable deterrent so that we finally break the business model of the criminal gangs and save lives. Starting from the moment that the bill passes, we will begin the process of removing those identified for the first flight. We have prepared for this moment to detain people while we prepare to remove them. We’ve increased detention spaces to 2200 to quickly process claims. We’ve got 200 trained, dedicated caseworkers ready and waiting to deal with any legal cases quickly and decisively. The judiciary have made available 25 courtrooms and identified 150 judges who could provide over 5000 sitting days.
