Nigel Farage savages Rishi’s Rwanda plan as a ‘total cop out’ & urges Tory MPs to vote it down in tomorrow’s crunch vote
NIGEL Farage branded Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill "an absolute cop out" and a "total joke" as he urged Tory MPs to vote it down tomorrow.
The right-wing big beast and I'm a Celeb finalist said the PM is "out of his depth", adding "I very much hope the plan goes under tomorrow."
And he claimed if he was a Tory MP that "believed in keeping the election promises made in four successive General Elections" he "would vote against my leader."
In a chilling warning to the government, the former UKIP and Brexit Party boss, predicted: "The Conservative Party are heading for electoral catastrophe" after letting down voters "like a cheap pair of braces."
But he predicted the Tory MPs will fall in line at Tuesday's crunch vote on the deportation legislation, claiming: "They are a pretty spineless, useless Oxbridge bunch generally. It’s tough to find any chins on them really."
Speaking to reporters down under after leaving the jungle, Mr Farage added: "I hope I am wrong."

Instead he urged politicians of all stripes to get real about the chaos on Britain's borders, adding: "The real problem we have got, and the one no one wants to face because it’s too difficult and it’s too awkward, is that we are suffering a population crisis.
"You cannot allow legal net migration pushing up to almost one million a year and expect people to get GPs appointments or houses.
"The quality of life for everybody is being diminished, Labour are terrified of it, the Conservatives are pretending its not happening."
Hinting a a return to the political jungle, he added: "I think the disconnect between Westminster and the public on this is bigger than it was before the Brexit referendum. It will be about immigration and numbers and years to come."
Mr Farage also joked about recent reports he could team up with Boris Johnson to save the Tory party from electoral doom.
He teased: "I haven’t checked my messages yet and I have 6000. If there is one from Boris I will find it and give him a ring."
While he said "never say never" to the so-called dream team ticket, he warned: "I don’t see how I can do that between now and the next general election so I think people may be getting too excited."
