EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK leader Richard Tice has blasted Rishi Sunak for not being willing to do what is necessary to resolve the small boats crisis.
Rishi Sunak has been told that he should stop funding the United Nations and withdraw from the European Convention of Human Rights if he wants to end the small boats migrant crisis and complete Brexit.
But Reform UK leader Richard Tice has warned that the Prime Minister is "too gutless" to do either even though it would mean taking back control of Britain's borders.
The row has exploded after the Appeal Court ruled on a split decision today by two judges to one to say the deportation flights to Rwanda are unlawful.
The two judges opposed to the flights quoted the ECHR which is overseen by a foreign court in Strasbourg.
Tory MPs on the right of the party have been pressing Mr Sunak to act but the Prime Minister has instead ditched plans to replace human rights legislation with a Bill of Rights.

However, more concerning was that the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi supported the legal bid to block the flights.
He claimed, along with activist leftwing lawyers, that Rwanda was "not a safe country" and refugees could not get guarantees there.
This is despite the UN having its own refugee camp based in Rwanda where it sends people from abroad.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Mr. Tice said that the UK should follow the USA's example of defunding the United Nations.
Currently, Britain is its second-biggest donor behind America but appears to be targeted more often than countries like China.
Recently the UN allowed Iran to be the chairman of its women's rights committee despite horrendous abuses against women in the Islamic Republic.
Mr Tice told Express.co.uk: "It is an outrage that the United Nations joined the legal case against Rwanda when it itself has a refugee camp set up in the country.
"This is clearly a politically motivated attack on the UK by an unaccountable international organisation which infamously put Iran in charge of its committee on women's rights.
"Britain is the UN's second biggest funder.
"If the Tories had any guts they would pull our funding from this leftwing organization but of course that would be a far too courageous act for the globalist Sunak government to do."
Later Reform UK posted its six-point plan to end the migrant crisis including leaving the ECHR.
In a video message, Mr Tice said: "This will be the defining issue of the next general election because the British people want the boats stopped but the establishment will not let it happen.
"Only Reform UK will stand on a six-point plan to stop the boats."
