Every asylum seeker due to be on a controversial flight to Rwanda tonight has been removed after an eleventh-hour intervention from the European Court of Human Rights.

Confirmed reports suggest the flight will not be taking off after the ECHR got involved.

The numbers had been dropping steadily through the evening and at one point were down to one.

At 22:00, a Home Office source said the plane, which is stood ready on a Ministry of Defence runway at Boscombe Down in Amesbury, will not be departing due to the last minute intervention.

🚨🚨🚨EVERYONE WILL BE TAKEN OFF THE FLIGHT!!

NOONE WILL BE DEPORTED TO RWANDA TONIGHT!!

We have won today, but we will continue the fight tomorrow and against EVERY racist deportation ✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥

Tonight, we cry, hug each other, thank everyone, from the bottom of our heart who spoke up or stood up in any way at all.

Tomorrow, we regroup, we keep fighting to get this disgusting racist Rwanda deportation policy thrown OUT for good. ❤️🤩💪💪❤️❤️

Solidarity forever!

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
