A BUNGLING minister has let slip the date for the first deportation flight to Rwanda by leaving documents lying around in Downing Street.
Rishi Sunak announced at a press conference that commercial charter planes were booked and an airfield was on standby for the first flight to leave in 10 to 12 weeks.
It suggested the scheme would begin in July but after the press conference, a Tory minister inadvertently left a briefing document showing the actual plan was for the flights to begin earlier.
It stated: "The first charter flight to Rwanda is provisionally scheduled for June (please protect)."
