European judges ‘close to backing down’ on blocking Rwanda flights as Braverman hails ‘constructive talks’

A government source said the reforms ‘would remove a key barrier to getting flights off the ground’ if implemented

European judges could be close to backing down on a court injunction blocking the UK from sending migrants to Rwanda, as the home secretary hails “constructive talks”.

Suella Braverman said she was “encouraged” after “constructive” discussions between the government and the European Court of Human Rights over possible reforms to the court order that grounded deportation flights last year.

A government source said that if implemented, the reforms “would remove a key barrier to getting flights off the ground”.
