The UK has spent £140 million on measures to prepare Rwanda for migrant arrivals

GB News presenter Bev Turner has raged at the Supreme Court, after ruling that the Rwanda migrant plan put forward by the government is "unlawful".

The court today concluded that asylum seekers who are sent to Rwanda from the UK are at "real risk".


President of the Supreme Court, Lord Reed, argued there are "serious questions" as to whether Rwanda's agreement with the UK government can be relied on.

He added that Rwanda has "ratified many international human rights conventions".

Reacting to the ruling, the Rwandan government disagreed with the Supreme Court, stating: "This is ultimately a decision for UK's judicial system. However, we take issue with the ruling that Rwanda is not a safe third country for asylum seekers and refugees."

"We have been recognised by the UNHCR and other international institutions for our exemplary treatment of refugees."

Following the ruling, GB News hosts Bev Turner and Andrew Pierce shared their thoughts on today's judgement.

Bev highlighted that the UK has already spent £140 million on measures to prepare Rwanda for migrant arrivals, fuming that they will now "never arrive there".

Bev added: "£140 million of taxpayers money - makes my blood boil!

"You don't give a country £140 million just because you feel like being bold and ambitious. It's not good enough!"

In response to Bev's comments, Labour MP Stephen Pound said: "I rather think we could have spent that on some rather better things like than NHS or more policing.

"The minute a Royal Navy frigate or a minesweeper or even an RNLI vessel approached an immigrant barge or a boat anywhere in the in the Channel, they would simply stick a knife in it and puncture it, and they'll be in the water and we'd have to rescue them."

Pound added: "I know that at the very most 40 or 50 people are going to go to Rwanda. It ain't going to happen. It is not going to happen."

“Why on earth don't we do what we used to do? Get what the Dutch do and actually process people here and if they're legal, let them in. If they're not legal, send them back.

“Instead of this farcical ludicrous headline grabbing nonsense about ‘we're going to send you to Rwanda’.”
