It took only a few years to legitimately talk about leaving the Geneva Conventions because their immigration policy is utterly inhumane. I knew there will be some wild bullshit happening after Brexit. But fuck.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The government said the bill, unveiled earlier, made clear in UK law Rwanda was a safe country for asylum seekers.

Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: "It is a sign of the total chaos in the Tory party and the complete collapse of Rishi Sunak's leadership that even while he is sitting in the Commons for the announcement of his new Rwanda plan, his own immigration minister is resigning because he doesn't think it will work."

The legislation aims to address the concerns of the UK's Supreme Court, which last month ruled plans to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda were unlawful.

The bill allows ministers to ignore any emergency order from the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to temporarily halt a flight to Rwanda while an individual case is still being considered.

It also allows migrants to legally challenge their removal to Rwanda on specific individual grounds, if they can prove that being put on a plane would leave them at real risk of serious harm.

The group cautiously welcomed "the government's decision to continue to meet the UK's international commitments which uphold the rule of law" but added that it would seek legal advice "about concerns and the practicalities of the bill".
