Watch: Yvette Cooper’s take down of Patel’s Rwanda strategy is a must-watch

"Superb. Quite superb. And she's right. Patel has NO answers," wrote one person who watched the clip.

New immigration laws will have a “massively detrimental” impact on exploited children, who will be at greater risk of being unidentified, unprotected and penalised, charities have warned.

It comes as yesterday Yvette Cooper tore into Priti Patel over the government’s Rwanda policy.

The Government has been urged not to let an “adult-focused agenda to take priority over children’s rights”, with the Nationality and Borders Bill set to be debated in the Commons on Wednesday.

Nine child protection and anti-trafficking groups say a lack of long-term solutions for children who are trafficked is a “major factor” in them going missing and being further exploited.

It comes as figures from Every Child Protected Against Trafficking (ECPAT) and the charity Missing People show that trafficked children going missing from local authority care are disappearing on average eight times each a year.

Yvette Cooper savages Priti Patel's Rwanda policy.

This unworkable, shameful & desperate attempt to distract from the Prime Minister's law breaking… (1/2) pic.twitter.com/guzZd3Q9Xf

Cooper continues on in the video below.

Wow! Patel eviscerated here – a forensic filleting by Yvette Cooper. We need her in government.

The brilliant Yvette Cooper is saying what most of us were thinking, the Rwandan fiasco is nothing but a ploy to cover up the rest of the Conservative disaster at our cost, a cost we can ill afford!

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.
