Spanish airline Privilege Style, hired by the UK government to deport migrants from Britain to Rwanda, has pulled out of the scheme following backlash from human rights campaigners.
Priti Patel (pictured) has claimed that European human rights judges who blocked a migrant flight to Rwanda are 'anti-Tory' and 'anti-Brexit'.
The man, known only as KN, hopes he will now stay in Britain after the 11th hour reprieve at MoD Boscombe Down, declaring: 'I have the right to have a better life'.
Mohammed, an Iranian Kurd who was being held in Colbrook removal centre near Heathrow, has said security guards 'hugged and congratulated' the migrants after the flight was cancelled.
Migrants landing on Britain's shores have said they are not worried about Priti Patel's deportation flights to Rwanda and insisted that the policy will not deter people from crossing the Channel.
