Priti Patel challenges opponents to come up with a better idea than her Rwanda policy for migrants

Priti Patel has challenged opponents to come up with a better plan than her strategy to send illegal migrants to Rwanda.
The Tory Home Secretary sought to stoke the row over her controversial plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, claiming they have not provided alternatives.

The fightback came after the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said there were “serious ethical questions” about the plan.
The head of the church of England had warned blocking people claiming refugee status in Britain, and forcibly flying them to Rwanda instead, was “opposite of the nature of God”.
Conservative Energy minister Greg Hands also challenged critics of the plan to come up with a better idea to tackle small boat crossings in the English Channel.
Hands said sending migrants to Rwanda will act as a “significant deterrent” to people attempting to cross the Channel in small boats.
He said: “We think that it will work and we are confident that it will work.”

“So, the relocation to Rwanda is there – it will act as a significant deterrent, we think, to people making that journey. It will ultimately be at the cost of the people smugglers who we want to put out of business.”
Labour’s Shadow policing minister Sarah Jones said it is “madness” to expect migrants to stay in Rwanda after they try to reach the UK.
She claimed the Government
