The Supreme Court ruled that the Rwanda policy was unlawful because Rwanda was not a safe country to which asylum seekers could be removed

Tory MP Priti Patel has discussed the Rwanda Bill and said that "we will go to battle with the Supreme Court" over the Rwanda Bill.

Speaking on GB News she said: "I find the whole issue very disappointing right now. I do think the French should do a lot more, quite frankly. We're paying them record sums of money.

" We had a plan called the New Plan for immigration linked to the Rwanda policy. I'm sorry to say this, but people that came in afterwards and in fact the current government didn't support that plan."
