She dismissed the message as Mr Johnson’s “desperate and embarrassing” attempt to “divert attention from his own breach of the law” and from the “failure” of the Home Office’s asylum decision-making, which sees thousands waiting for more. from year to decision.
The Interior Ministry is already a catalog of failures, from passport queues to delays in Ukrainian visas, to rising crime and declining prosecutions. Instead of mastering the basics, all Priti Patel and Mr. Johnson do is come up with wild and unworkable titles. Britain deserves better.

The United Kingdom will send asylum seekers to Rwanda, said Boris Johnson
Ministers have for the first time signed an agreement to send asylum seekers arriving in the UK to another country to have their cases processed, and the move, experts warn, will encourage traffickers.
Boris Johnson is ready to announce an agreement with Rwanda, according to which migrants will be “taken” more than 4,000 miles to the landlocked African country while awaiting a decision on asylum from the Ministry of Interior.
The Rwandan government is expected to be paid an initial price of £ 120 million for the deal, which will be funded by the British taxpayer.
The prime minister is expected to set out his plans in a speech Thursday morning, saying: “Our compassion may be endless, but our ability to help people is not.
“The British have voted several times to control our borders – not to close them, but to control them. So just as Brexit has allowed us to regain control of legal immigration by replacing free movement with our point-based system, we are also regaining control of illegal immigration with a long-term asylum plan in that country.
