He pointed to the Human Rights Act 1998 which incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law.
The former Ukip leader said: “Just over two years ago, of course, we had the speech at Lydd Airport down in Kent, telling us about the Rwanda plan.

“Do I believe that in 10 to 12 weeks time, there'll be planes taking off with significant numbers of migrants on board? No, I don’t.”
Mr Farage, who is honorary president of Reform UK, went on: “What people care about is are the numbers crossing the Channel going to stop?
“He made no acknowledgement in his speech of the fact that numbers are up 25% so far this year.
“He said we’ll defy the European Court of Human Rights. Well, I very much doubt that he will.
"But even if he did, there's something missing here. It's called the Human Rights Act 1998. That was the legislation that took the ECHR and put it into British law.

"And all the while it's there, there will be legal cases taken and British judges will find in favour of the legislation. I promise you, not a single person is going to Rwanda.
"This is a complete charade and the tougher he talks and the more he raises the rhetoric the more public disappointment there will be."

Speaking at a Downing Street press conference this morning, Mr Sunak warned MPs and peers would sit through the night if necessary to get the Safety of Rwanda Bill through Parliament.
He blamed Labour peers for the delays, but vowed: "We will start the flights and we will stop the boats."
