Rishi Sunak claims Rwanda policy is ‘common sense’ and backed by ‘vast majority of public’ – UK politics live

Prime minister’s claim – which is at odds with polling on the issue – comes after High Court rules policy is lawful

And here is the key quote from the summary of the judgment.

The court has concluded that, it is lawful for the government to make arrangements for relocating asylum seekers to Rwanda and for their asylum claims to be determined in Rwanda rather than in the United Kingdom. On the evidence before this court, the government has made arrangements with the government of Rwanda which are intended to ensure that the asylum claims of people relocated to Rwanda are properly determined in Rwanda. In those circumstances, the relocation of asylum seekers to Rwanda is consistent with the refugee convention and with the statutory and other legal obligations on the government including the obligations imposed by the Human Rights Act 1998.
