Correcting myself on this. Perhaps MORE likely he'll go for a July election, before the scheme inevitably fails, so he can argue that flights are just ready to go, if only people vote Conservative...

Sunak claims to have 'cleared the asylum backlog.'
If so, it's by waving pretty much everyone in!
Back in 2004, 88pc of claims were thrown out. Now almost 80pc are approved. Go figure!

Sunak admits no flights will leave for Rwanda for at least ten weeks, ie July. Stand by for a massive increase in crossings between now and then. And likely no general election until he's shown he can do it.

I’ll let others decide whether I was “hateful” here!

My take is that Isabel Oakeshott took Yasmin to the cleaners.

Lots of people who could do at least some work prefer to live on benefits. Pretending this isn't true/turning a blind eye is not kind or compassionate: it's stupid.

The Tories have just let one of their ministers go on BBC Question Time with ZERO answer as to why they did NOTHING for 3 months over lurid allegations about their MP, Mark Menzies. Answer? They were too busy desperately trying to find dirt on Reform UK candidates.

It is time those responsible for this kind of criminal damage are forced to pay for the repairs. Each and every penny. What a disgrace.

I really don't care whether Rwanda is a safe country or not. Channel migrants have already rejected refuge in at least 1 other safe country, AKA France.
I care that hundreds of millions of taxpayers' cash is being squandered on this never-ending farce

Anyone with any interest in what makes an outstanding school should read this. Congratulations Katharine Birbalsingh on this landmark ruling

Extraordinary and deeply sinister scenes in Brussels as socialist Mayor orders police to shut down a peaceful conservative conference attended by Suella Braverman MP Nigel Farage and may leading right of centre thinkers. Appalling!

Your own words in the Guardian: 'No watering-down, no new red tape: it’s time to fully decriminalise abortion in England and Wales....grant all women this basic right.'
That's quite enough for us to comment!

Why is BBC News leading on the sons of a Hamas leader being killed in an Israeli airstrike, as if this is some kind of outrage? What exactly did he expect? Hamas is the reason both militants and innocents are dying

You want to decriminalise abortion at any stage. That’s all we need to know.

stellacreasy Isabel Oakeshott But if someone aborted their unborn baby at say 35 weeks would they not face criminal charges? You suggested in your column that the public believes no woman should go to prison for abortion. I happen to think doing it at such a late stage does deserve punishment.
