Immigration minister accuses people crossing Channel in small boats of ‘breaking into the country’
People arriving in the UK by irregular means will be deported to Rwanda before the next general election, Robert Jenrick, the immigration minister, has said, as the home secretary, James Cleverly, arrives in Kigali to sign a treaty paving the way for the policy.
Jenrick, who has taken an increasingly rightwing stance and hinted at his frustration with Downing Street’s perceived inaction on migration, also ramped up the rhetoric, accusing people crossing the Channel in small boats of “breaking into the country”.
