Joe Lycett had the best response to Suella Braverman’s Rwanda wheeze hitting the buffers
The government suffered yet another blow today after Suella Braverman’s controversial (outrageous) plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda was ruled unlawful by court of appeal judges.
The three judges found that sending asylum seekers to Rwanda would be a breach of article 3 of the European convention on human rights, and they unanimously rejected other grounds of appeal in the case.

And it prompted no end of totally on-point responses.
"Rwanda is not a safe third country" – Crystal clear
Let this be the end of the cruel Rwanda plan and the so-called 'Illegal Immigration Bill' https://t.co/SDYGRAdHBG

I've lost count of the number of times 'the party of law and order' has been found by a court to have acted unlawfully. https://t.co/9Jwo6F3EHs

This is a victory for everyone who has stood against the Gov’s cruel & unlawful plan to send people seeking safety to Rwanda
Either all of us have human rights or none of us do
Just one example Gov trying to put itself above the law & international human rights principles https://t.co/hanHFkV37L

The Supreme Court has ruled that sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is unlawful. I wonder if we can get a refund on that £140m we gave them..?pic.twitter.com/iS3aXgNNga

But the very best response (and not for the first time) went to Joy Lycett.

And it’s not the first time Lycett’s had us cheering this week, after he had this to say about Ben Elton’s appearance on BBC1’s Laura Kuennsberg show on Sunday.
I’m SICK AND TIRED of hearing from so called ‘comedians’ on political shows!!! These are for serious people like Nigel Farage and Dominic Raab!!! Ben Elton should be ASHAMED and JAILED. https://t.co/RnOhgqYgUi
