Boris Johnson is said to have complained the Archbishop of Canterbury was more critical of his Rwanda migrant plan than he was of Putin
Sources close to the Prime Minister say he fired back at Justin Welby after the latter said the asylum plan cannot "stand the judgement of God" on Easter Sunday.
The archbishop said that "sub-contracting out our responsibilities, even to a country that seeks to do well, like Rwanda, is the opposite of the nature of God who himself took responsibility for our failures". Former Prime Minister and ex-Home Secretary Theresa May questioned the "legality, practicality and efficacy" of the idea.
"I'm not going to come to the floor of the House and speak about the eligibility criteria, because... it is that type of criteria that is used by the smuggling gangs to then effectively exploit various loopholes in our existing laws."The Home Secretary has called on critics of the plan to come up with their own solution to migrant crisis.
