‘Rwanda farce’ is like Brexit, says Farage, as he accuses government of being out of touch with its own voters

Nigel Farage has questioned whether the Conservative Party has a future after one of its most well-known MPs resigned as Deputy Chairman over the Rwanda Bill.

Speaking on GB News, Mr Farage said:

“I fully understand what Lee Anderson is saying but when he says the Conservative Party in the UK is a broad church, yes, it’s a broad church, but it no longer has any unifying religion.

“And churches without religion cannot survive very long in my view.

“And I’m just reminded this is just like Brexit all over again, where a majority of Conservative voters wanted Brexit, and yet, despite that, the party opposed Brexit and did so pretty forcefully.

“We’re over 600 days into this Rwanda farce, 600 days where the government have promised us that people who cross the English Channel illegally in dinghies would be sent to Rwanda.

“We’ve spent hundreds of millions of pounds; not a single flight has gone, not one person has gone and as we go on through this internecine warfare within the Conservative Party, I wonder legally, frankly, all the while we’re signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights, to various conventions with United Nations whether any of it is worth a row of beans?”
