GB News left with egg on its face after ECHR poll goes the wrong way

It comes as home secretary Priti Patel hit out at the ‘scandalous’ decision to ground the flight, suggesting it was politically motivated.

Debate over the European Convention on Human Rights’ decision to intervene in the Rwanda flight continues to wage on.

Priti Patel has suggested that the “absolutely scandalous” European court decision which effectively grounded the first flight to send asylum seekers to central Africa was politically motivated.

Judges at the ECHR on Tuesday granted an injunction that resulted in a chartered aircraft to Kigali being unable to depart Wiltshire.

“You’ve got to look at the motivation,” the home secretary told The Daily Telegraph.

“How and why did they make that decision? Was it politically motivated? I’m of the view that it is, absolutely.

“The opaque way this court has operated is absolutely scandalous. That needs to be questioned.

“We don’t know who the judges are, we don’t know who the panel are, we haven’t actually had a judgment – just a press release and a letter saying we can’t move this person under rule 39.

Elsewhere, on GB News, Nigel Farage clashed horns with Paul Garlick over the decision.

“I’m sorry! I don’t need to be given the ‘right to life’ or the ‘right’ to anything by a body in Strasbourg! I don’t need that. I have that as a free-born person in this country!”, he said.

The right-wing news channel conducted a poll shortly after the debate asking viewers whether “Brexit Britain” should leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

The results were, fair to say, not quite what they expected.

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.
