Where is our lovely Sangita Myska?
If her LBC bosses thought we won't notice she's missing they are wrong and this shows they are not reading the room.
Sangita is a breath of fresh air and isn't afraid to ask challenging questions - that's the traits of a fantastic journalist ❤️
'If you want to declare that Rwanda will always be a safe country...and then you don't know the geography, it's embarrassing isn't it?'
After Chris Philp's blunder, @MattFrei questions Tory peer Lord Robathan and mediates his debate with human rights lawyer Jacqueline (Jacqui) Mckenzie.
Trying to show the #RwandaPlan as benevolent, Home Secretary tells Telegraph that Rwanda needs migrants because it is

Govt def in need of a geography workshop.
The Drax's were compensated in 1833 to the sum of £4K+ (£3 mil in today's money). Interestingly, the compensation was for the loss of the use of enslaved Africans & not the land? But how did the Drax's acquire this land? Is there a receipt or legal title?

This, that some in govt thought/hoped #RwandaBill might fail thus providing a rod for Labour's back, makes sense.
Govt prob shocked to have to now deliver a scheme, not about deterrence, reducing asylum seekers nos & boats, but about virtue signaling

Harrowing case described below involving allegations of sexual assault and rape by a sex therapist, in which my colleague, Cat Rubens, acts for #EllaJanneh , victim and survivor.
It's your 1st day at #Conservative Campaign HQ & you're asked to devise an election strategy. Your brief - we've attacked migrants, lawyers, judges, teachers & lecturers, doctors, clergy, the homeless & failed. Who can we target nxt? & you come up with sick people as a real idea!
This is a gross erasure of how the UK built its wealth. The C of E, Guardian and Lloyds are prominent examples that openly show how our church, media and financial systems are rooted in colonialism and slavery
This is not a matter of conjecture, but fact
