Patel sends out ‘bizarre’ Christmas card celebrating Rwanda deportations
Former Home Secretary Priti Patel

PRITI PATEL has been accused of “losing all sense of humanity” after sending out Christmas cards celebrating Rwanda deportations. 

The disturbing image depicts the former home secretary as a cartoon fairy on top of a Christmas tree bearing baubles inscribed with her “achievements” this year. 

In pride of place is the UK-Rwanda migration pact, a policy she devised with former PM Boris Johnson, who also features on the card as a bare-footed child, eagerly awaiting to unwrap a pile of presents.
