Jess Phillips storms in with early contender for mic drop of the year

Jess Phillips is an early contender for mic drop of the year after she responded to questions over the government’s Rwanda deportation scheme with a sublime put-down.

Not to mention the fact that the prime minister himself didn’t even like the idea when he was chancellor!
