“This policy was dropped last week. All the other bloody crimes we’ve heard from Priti Patel and Boris Johnson have come to absolutely nothing.

Mr Farage doubled down on the message that conservatives must ensure that Rwandan policy is followed through if they are to stop the more dangerous and illegal crossings.

By the end of 2022, this figure is expected to reach nearly 60,000.
