Robert Jenrick, a Conservative MP and former minister, has claimed that the entire Tory cabinet was aware that the controversial Rwanda deportation policy would not work. The policy, which aimed to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, has faced significant legal and logistical challenges. Jenrick's comments come as the government faces increasing scrutiny over its immigration policies and the effectiveness of its strategies. This revelation could further complicate the political landscape for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his administration. The timing of the claims is particularly sensitive, with the budget announcement looming and political tensions high.

If they knew it wouldn’t work, they should have doubled down and made it work – that’s how you show strength and get results.

It's honestly no surprise that the Tories knew their Rwanda deportation plan was doomed from the start. This whole scheme was just another cruel and performative attempt to distract from their failure to create a humane and effective immigration system. Instead of wasting time and money on these absurd policies, they should focus on addressing the root causes of migration and providing safe, legal routes for asylum seekers. It's time for real solutions, not political theater.

Government overreach at its finest—more wasted taxpayer money on a doomed policy that tramples individual freedoms.
