Absolutely desperate interview with Michael Tomlinson refusing to answer questions on whether victims of torture & survivors of slavery & trafficking can be sent to Rwanda.

The answer, in both cases, is yes.

Yes to Afghans. Yes to children. Yes to refugees of all kinds #r4today

Rishi Sunak A cruel callous unworkable gimmick!
But anything to appeal to your RW fan base, eh?
#RwandaNotInMyName

As the daughter of a political Refugee who was given safe passage to this country from Uganda fleeing Idi Amins murderous regime against Asians, this absolutely chills me to the bone, unthinkable inhumane and cruel treatment towards those seeking sanctuary.
#RwandaNotInMyName

The UK/Rwanda deal allows Rwanda to send their most vulnerable refugees to the UK. This does not reduce immigration, nor will it stop the boats.

It is an evil, undemocratic and expensive scam that does nothing to address the issue.

#SunakOut #RwandaNotInMyName #RwandaBill

When we're told we have to cut the welfare bill because we can't afford it, how can we afford £2M per person to send people to Rwanda? #RwandaNotInMyName

#Rwanda NotInMyName #Rwanda
I am so ashamed of the UK Cons government that the #Rwanda Bill has been forced through.

I wake up this morning to the sight of what my country has become.
It is a pale shadow of its former self. The vile Tory Rwanda bill makes international criminals of all of us. It uses vulnerable people as pawns to be chucked away like so much rubbish.

#RwandaNotInMyName

People trafficker.

No better than the criminal gangs.

#RwandaNotInMyName

And, in advance of another vain and tetchy press conference, let’s remember that:
-the Rwanda plan is not in the Tory manifesto
-our own court rejected it
-he’s unelected
So when he insists it’s the ‘will of the people’, he’s wrong. An election is what we want. To get rid of him.

Whether you support the Labour Party or not, the first-past-the-post voting system that can potentially deliver 81% of the seats to ‘any single party’ on just 44% of the votes cast, is not a truly democratic system. ⚠️

It’s time for #ProportionalRepresentation ❗️

Surely we must start REGULATING these online dating sites instead of blaming its victims.
My❤️goes out to MPs Mark Menzies & William Wragg who have had to use these sites & suffered enormously.
Something HAS to be done before even more innocent Tory MPs lose their careers!
😡

At #PMQs Sunak actually says with an attempt at a triumphant flourish 'vote Conservative for a brighter future for Britain' - apparently oblivious to the implicit admission of the dire state of things after 14 years of the Tories in power #generalelectionNOW
