Why did the Prime Minister just refuse to confirm that MPs will be permitted a vote on any involvement by UK troops on the ground in the Middle East?

A dramatic, and potentially, dangerous development that must be determined by all MPs.

👇Stephen Flynn MP: 'The public will be hoping that members of this House do not have a short memory when it comes to the potential deployment and involvement of our military.'

We must see the opening of safe aid routes and a ceasefire across Israel and Gaza.

📢 Since the introduction of Scottish income tax rates, more people from the rest of the UK chose to make Scotland their home than those who left.

“It remains the case that if the very real risk of losing your life in the Channel is no deterrent, it is unlikely that the slim chance of being removed to Rwanda will dissuade people making this dangerous crossing.”

Hearing Tory MPs muttering about the absurdity and unworkability of the policy they then voted for shows the moral vacuum at the heart of the Conservative party. Party over country. Party over compassion. Party over international law. #RwandaBill

The House of Lords is powerless and pointless. Abolish it.

What’s happening in Westminster?

Well, two of the most privileged groups in society are deciding the fate of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

The SNP will continue to vote tonight, at every turn, against the grubby and dangerous Rwanda Bill.

From all of us at the SNP, Chag Pesach Sameach to Jewish communities in Scotland and across the world. #Passover 2024 #Passover

❌ Westminster’s Rwanda Bill violates international law, the policy is not only dangerous but also ineffective.

📢 The cost of living crisis is burdening households yet Westminster’s priorities are misplaced in the pursuit of an ineffective and inhumane policy.
