In April, Priti Patel hailed the Rwanda deal as a “world class” plan that provided a “blueprint” for other countries to follow.

That works out at £600,000 per person - with the money "already committed" and "being used" by the Central African country.

It is safe to say that actor Hugh Grant is not a fan of Priti Patel as he made his comments on social media.

The UK High Commissioner to Rwanda even intervened, warning that security is "heavy-handed" and any deal could "cause problems reputationally".

He had been due to appear where politicians had been expected to grill Mr Raab on the proposed British Bill of Rights.

Priti Patel has sided with the group of Cabinet ministers calling for PM to go, leaving Dorries, Mogg and Raab left.

The Government in April signed a £120 million economic and migration agreement to send failed asylum seekers to Rwanda, though none have yet departed.

"This new British approach to human rights diplomacy is unhinged," said one person in response.

"Imagine her shock when she finds out her party has been in power for more than a decade! Watch in disbelief."
