Summary

Tell us what you think of The Bunker in our Listener Survey – five respondents will get the Bunker mug or t-shirt of their choice. The Supreme Court has shot down the government’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. But Rishi Sunak is determined to see his policy through, even if it means defying the European Court of Human Rights. So what next for the controversial plan? Ros Taylor is joined in The Bunker by legal academic and head of the research at UK in a Changing Europe, Joelle Grogan to look at the fallout of the court decision. • “The supreme court found that Rwanda was unsafe for the policy, not that it was unlawful.” – Joelle Grogan • "The law cannot claim something is safe when it is not factually safe.” – Joelle Grogan • “A majority of Rwanda alternatives are also facing their own migration crisis.” – Joelle Grogan www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Ros Taylor.
