After the five judges unanimously rejected the government's plans to deport people seeking asylum in the UK to the east African country, Rishi Sunak said that he would ensure the flights could go ahead by legislating that Rwanda was safe.
But lawyers have said such changes would not achieve Sunak's aim of ending what he called the legal merry-go-round and would be likely still to fall foul of courts.
So the government can legislate to say two plus two is five but it doesn't make two plus two [equal] five. They can legislate to say actually Rwanda is safe; it doesn't make Rwanda safe as a matter of international and domestic law.
