Nigel Farage now believes a summer general election is more likely after Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda Bill passed Parliament. Sunak had previously stated that deportation flights to Rwanda would begin within 12 weeks, but Farage contends this is unlikely due to legal challenges from the Human Rights Act. The former Brexit Party leader argues that the Prime Minister’s bold statement about ignoring international courts signals a shift towards an earlier election, as he cannot deliver on his flagship policy while the Human Rights Act remains in place. Sunak, however, maintains that the legislation will enable the government to deter illegal immigration and save lives.
