Conservative MP and GB News presenter Jacob Rees-Mogg says Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been "hoist by his own petard" on the Rwanda policy.

Speaking to GB News, Jacob said: "It's always important that planes fly. That's their point. So if we're going to have planes, they must fly.

"I happen to think that legal migration is the bigger problem because the numbers are so large, 1.4 million net migration in the two years to June 2023. That is something that's easier for the government to control.

"It doesn't require primary legislation, it doesn't bash up against human right, but stopping the boats has become totemic. So it is really important that he pushes through and starts getting people to Rwanda."

Host Pip Tomson then asked: "Was it the wrong slogan though? Was it a slogan that was never going to fly?"
