Nigel Farage claimed Rishi Sunak is now likely to call a general election in the summer so voters cast their ballots before the Prime Minister’s flagship Rwanda policy “disintegrates”.
The honorary president of Reform UK predicted the migrant deportation plan will get bogged down in the courts again and the flights ultimately will not happen.
He told GB News: “I would now say it’s two thirds likely that we’re going to have a general election at the end of June or early July, however well or badly the Conservatives may do in the elections coming up next week on May 2.
“The reason I think there’s going to be an early election is because you can’t keep upping the ante on stopping the boats and sending people to Rwanda and keep failing.
“He must know, his advisers must know, that all the while the Human Rights Act is there in law there will be lawyers on behalf of people who are going to be deported, who will go to the courts and British judges will find in their favour and not allow them to go to Rwanda.
“So rather than wait for what is seen to be his flagship policy to disintegrate, he’ll call a general election before it, making promises that he can’t deliver. That’s my thought.”
