SIR - The Prime Minister is right to celebrate the return of power sharing in Northern Ireland which collapsed due to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, but alongside its clear moral shortcomings, Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda plan will introduce new instability by allowing the UK Government to disregard international law written into the Good Friday Agreement.
The Safety of Rwanda Bill is also based on legal fiction, which creates precedent to undermine the rule of law by skewing the separation of powers.
The Bill is currently in the House of Lords and is set to return to the commons by mid-March.
Members of both chambers must oppose this plan to ensure political stability in Northern Ireland and protect Britain's reputation in the world as a reliable and law-abiding partner.
