passed a special law, that Rwanda deterrent
0:02
where illegal immigrants crossing the Channel would have got sent straight to Rwanda
0:05
That was ready to go after the election. The first plane was due to take off on July 24th
0:11
but Keir Starmer made a catastrophic mistake by cancelling that Rwanda scheme just days before
0:17
it was due to start with no replacement. And as a consequence, the numbers crossing the Channel have surged
0:24
So, look, anyway, we're now in the new leadership. We've got a new, far more radical plan
0:28
and we are not messing around. Hang on, if I could get a word in edgeways. I'm sorry, the reason why the Rwanda plan didn't take off..

Go on, Camilla. Go on, Camilla. Well, it is my show. Is that Rishi Sunak called a general election..
0:40
Yeah, fair enough. ..before the flight had taken off. He did that because he'd had enough, it was all going badly for him
0:45
It was a catastrophic mistake. We arguably wouldn't have been in this mess now
0:50
if the Tories had got their ideas together, had actually got a flight off the ground
0:55
then we could have proven that it was a deterrent. Labour would have had to have kept it on
1:00
otherwise face a mutiny in their own constituencies. So the person that bungled this really was Rishi Sunak, wasn't it
1:06
Not Keir Starmer. Well, hang on a second. I'm not sure that's completely fair
1:11
So, look, I'm not sure what Rishi's motivation was for calling that early election, but quite clearly
1:15
I do agree with what you said
