Afghan hero faces Rwanda deportation for second time

The man, who gathered information to help coalition forces in their war against the Taliban, came to the UK on a small boat because he feared for his life and could not wait for help through official routes after the West’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. He applied for the Ministry of Defence’s Afghan relocations and assistance policy scheme, for those who worked with or for the UK government, two years ago but has not heard anything back.

The Independent first revealed that he had been threatened with deportation to Rwanda in August this year, but a week later, Home Office officials started to progress his asylum claim and sent him a questionnaire to fill out. The questionnaires are sent to applicants from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Libya, Syria and Yemen and take the place of an interview. These nationalities all have high asylum grant rates so the analyst believed he was safe to stay in the UK.

Reeves had to go to China this is what they made of her

Let's be clear. Rachel Reeves had to go to China. The chancellor went to promote Britain and to win business. Staying at home would not have saved the pound. It would have looked like weakness - one thing the Chinese regime will always pounce on. So much for the good bit. My doubts creep in afterwards...
