BORIS JOHNSON hopes to salvage his premiership with the broken lives of refugees deported to Rwanda.

The Prime Minister was deliberately inflammatory when he condemned all those opposed to his inhuman policy as “abetting the work of the criminal gangs” engaged in human trafficking.

No 10 remains calculatedly vague on who is being referred to: human rights lawyers, the Church of England, even the Prince of Wales are among the “unexpected quarters” from which the PM detects resistance.
