Asked whether she was confident the plan would work and how long it would take to begin, Ms Patel said: "I've said from day one, even when I signed the agreement and announced the partnership, that this will take time and it will take time for a range of reasons.
Ms Patel added that the government's new nationality and borders bill granted "greater powers and greater means" to remove people who did not have a legal right to remain in the UK. The department said the government "has the power to detain individuals pending their removal from the UK", adding the first flights were expected to take place in the coming months.
The home secretary also said the ongoing issue of small boat crossings was "exactly why we changed our laws" and why the agreement with the Rwandan government was struck.
The question has to be WHY, we have been told that the arrangements with the Rwandan Govt has been agreed, the illegals keep coming, NOW is the time to implement the decision and start transitioning these illegals, NOW is the time to start, not in 6 months time.
Criminals the lot of them Ronjo
Should have already been in place just book seats. Lawyers seem to fight a lot for folk abroad but never seem to do the same here. Why do we have so many laws to persecute us? Not once have they ever considered our basic rights have been destroyed in given them away. lawyer greed
That’s because it was never meant for implementation but was merely another dead cat thrown by this hideous government to distract from their ineptitude
Hahahaha.. all the racist's left with their tongues hanging out, drooling, but no treats for the manky dogs. Just promises and wishes for you.
Good. The longer the better.
It’s never gonna happen. It’s headline news to appease brexit voters. torys never planned for it to go ahead, they will just keep it ticking over in the news until the next election and then blame the courts for stopping it. Typical Torys
It's just a rouse to keep the public calm ,as so many are still coming everyday.
The ones you have sent so far, how are they doing over there madam priti. Any update?
If you use what3words you can see the first centre's location in Rwanda at 'Will.Never.Happen'.
Hater
The 'final solution' took time to implement too.
First flight out within weeks…multiples to follow.
Here we go it’s not going to happen. Do-gooders are digging in.
Ironic a programme featuring on BBC last night on trauma . Fergal Keane still suffering from his horrendous experience with genocide in Rwanda .Not surprising everyone is up in arms .Another flawed Patel project .
What kind of citizen wants to 'block the removal of individuals that have no right to be in their country?' Fanatics, anarchists, and those who reject the rule of law.
That torag should be in an asylum, tipping the ladder over that her family benefited from. Despicable piece of work that would’ve been kicked out the S.S for cruelty.
Asylum? It is only possible to apply from within the UK, if you are sent to Rwanda then you cannot apply.
It is / was just another ploy to save their tory arses 😝 it was never going to work and
Most internment camps take a while to get up to speed I guess🤷🏼♂️
Let's hope it's soon especially when you see posts like this...
Compassion oozes from every pore of her skin.
BorisJohnson pritipatel Why did you lie to us about turning boats around then? Why did you relax immigration rules to increase immigration? Now you are trying to relax them further to bring half of India. We voted for a reduction and not an increase.
A good idea?
She hasn't got long enough.
Here we go BorisJohnson and pritipatel are not real Conservatives and are not interested in reducing or controlling immigraiton. All they've done so far is increase non EU immigration by relaxing rules and doing nothing about country shopping boat people.T hey'll lose votes.
Beelzebub might recall her from her loan spell with the Tories before it even happens.
She can't even arrest, lock up isis so I doult she'll drop illegals in Rwanda ffs 5 years with isis gets you rehoused, entering 🇬🇧 illegally gets you everything eventually Whilst the rest of us get fcked and treated worse than returning 🇬🇧 isis
It’s funny how she came to the UK, running way from her birth country of Uganda. Im not saying that people should arrive and stay in the UK, but let morals quicks in ! It doesn’t match
As in two days after the 12th of never. More gammon appeasement bites the bullet of reality.
there are 1 million illigale immigrannt
I think we should make and sign a petition to send Ugly Patel to Rwanda instead of the asylum seekers
'hurdles and barriers from lawyers'. Does she mean the law?
