Lords vote against Government's Rwanda Bill sending it back to the House of Commons.
James Cleverly vows 'these tragedies have to stop' - follow ourThe deaths of five Channel migrants - including a small girl killed in front of her father - underscored the need to deter people from crossing from France through the threat of deportation to Rwanda , Rishi Sunak said today.
The French coastguard said that the dead were three men, a woman and a child, as they undertook a major rescue operation off Wimereux, close to Boulogne-sur-Mer. 'I think that is just a reminder of why our plan is so important because there's a certain element of compassion about everything that we're doing,' he said.
Hundreds set off for the UK from France early this morning, taking advantage of calm weather the day after Parliament finally approved a new law to send arrivals to East Africa. The Prime Minister has said 'nothing will stand in our way' of getting flights off the ground after the Government's Rwanda deportation plan passed through Parliament
Before the tragedy struck, Mr Sunak this morning said he would let nothing 'stand in our way', with hopes flights may start in July. But the news did not appear to have filtered across the Channel, with more migrants boats filmed leaving the French coast near Dunkirk this morning heading for Britain. He told Times Radio: 'It's inevitable. I'm afraid that there will be challenges.. There are people who don't like this policy... the Labour lords, as we saw last night and the Labour Party, there are people who are determined to do whatever it takes to try and stop this policy from working.
The new law aims to clear the way to send asylum seekers who cross the Channel in small boats on a one-way flight to Kigali. The legislation and a treaty with Rwanda are intended to prevent further legal challenges to the stalled scheme after the Supreme Court ruled the plan was unlawful.
