Government defends decision to go ahead with deportation flight to Jamaica despite outcry
Downing Street has dismissed concerns about a deportation flight to Jamaica as the preoccupation of a “Westminster bubble” and vowed to press ahead with an inquiry into the use of judicial review.
After a court judgment forced the government to remove more than half the passengers on the flight, the prime minister’s press secretary said reaction to the case showed that “certain parts of Westminster still haven’t learned the lessons of the 2019 election”.
