I sincerely hope there will be a challenge, perhaps by judicial review, to the validity in principle of this Bill, once it passes into law. The unconstitutional nature of it, as Clarke has highlighted, is as disturbing as it is absurd. It strikes me that it was also completely unnecessary, as the SC ruling generously accepted both the SoS assertion that Rwanda’s system might feasibly improve, and that Rwanda had entered its agreements with the UK in good faith. All that was required was to give time to demonstrate those improvements and safeguards were in place & to apply for a review on the basis of new facts. That HMG was unwilling & unable to do so demonstrates their desperation & a lack of belief in the veracity of their own policy.
