The Prince of Wales is said to remain “politically neutral”, despite having reportedly branded the Government’s policy to send migrants to Rwanda “appalling”.

The Times newspaper said a source had heard Charles express opposition to the policy several times in private, and that he was “more than disappointed” by it.

The comments were reported after a High Court ruling paved the way for the first flight to the east African country to go ahead on Tuesday.

The first flight of migrants from the UK to Rwanda is due next week as part of the Government’s new immigration policy.

Ben & Jerry’s

Now Ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s has taken a stand against Priti Patel’s “ugly” Rwanda scheme.

They tweeted:

📢 It's time to take to the streets! 📢

Let's show our leaders that as caring people we want an asylum system rooted in kindness and compassion, not cruelty and hostility!

Join one of these two demos if you can to stand against the #RwandaPlan https://t.co/6R8VU0qgTD

Most people are kind and compassionate, right?
Yet our Government’s plan to forcibly send people to a country thousands of miles away, simply for seeking refuge in the UK, is cruel and morally bankrupt.

More than 100 people have already been sent ‘notices of intent’ by the Government.
This means 100 individuals with families, hopes, and dreams, are now living in complete fear of being sent to a country they’ve never been to, and have no connection with.

Our leaders are choosing to put people’s lives at risk.
They are choosing to use people as political chess pieces with no regard for the consequences for the people who'll be harmed by these decisions.

— Ben & Jerry's UK 🧡 (@benandjerrysUK) June 8, 2022

5.

But it doesn’t need to be this way.
There are many simple steps the Gov could take RIGHT NOW to enable people to rebuild their lives in safety.

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.
