The UK has already paid £270 million, with the latest £50 million instalment handed over in April. Nobody was deported, although two failed asylum seekers went to Rwanda voluntarily under a separate agreement that saw them offered a £3,000 incentive to go.

Just imagine what useful stuff could have been done with that money.

They could have spent that on no PPE, or on not building a high speed railway, or failing to improve migration, etc.
