If you believe that a dozen asylum seekers being put on a plane to Rwanda is either going to stop small boats crossing the channel, or magically turn the polls around for the Tories, then I have a bridge to sell you.

David Cameron essentially admitting in the media, albeit in cloudy terms, that Brexit bears a lot of responsibility for the small boats problem is extraordinary.

The Lee Anderson shtick appeals to less people than even his detractors imagine. That’s one big reason Labour are on around 45% while Reform are somewhere in the range of 12%. That’s about the reach of that weird ideology.

Sunak inherited a terrible situation after BJ and Truss. It was always going to be difficult for him to turn things around. But he could have at least tried. He never even tried.

'Advacado'. The greatest thing about Lee Anderson is the way in which he is a perfect parody of himself. There is no way any comedian could come close to replicating his work here.

Perhaps it’s just me, but I think Sunak looks slightly depressed in this picture. Sort of like he’s thinking “Oh England, why did you make me prime minister?”

I just don’t feel like Sunak and his advisers are going to look at the results on May 2nd and say to each other: “We just did horribly. Let’s call a general election now.”

Sort of interested in what happens in a worst case scenario for Sunak on May 2nd - local results apocalyptic, Street, Hall and Houchen all lose - except I already know the answer. Pretty much nothing, he keeps staggering on towards oblivion.

Sunak staking his premiership on Rwanda working is the stupidest thing any British prime minister has ever done. And that’s saying something given we’ve had some pretty stupid stuff from recent British PMs.

The Rwanda Bill passing is a sad day for British politics. That a country which once prided itself on common sense could pass into law something this shamefully silly is depressing.

When you put forward the idea of young British people having freedom of movement across the EU, with EU kids having the same in reverse, you end up with 68% for the idea, 15% against. Once more, Brexit rests on shakier ground than most think.

You know, constitutionally, the Lords don’t have to back down here. And if they hold their ground - and I’m not betting they will, by the way - then Sunak is going to have a lot of egg on his face after his macho bullshit earlier today.

On the Channel 4 general election pundit thing: beyond any questions of partisan balance, surely it won’t be any fun not having at least one Tory on the broadcast having to spin how losing hundreds of seats “isn’t too bad actually, when you look at it in the round”.

It is astonishing to watch so much thought, effort, time and manpower go into something as monumentally idiotic as the Rwanda plan. When you take a step back and view it as impartially as possible, it is truly breathtaking.

On the “10 to 12 weeks” thing - why is Sunak addicted to setting out time scales for things that aren’t likely to be met? Seems like politics 101 to avoid doing that, and yet he keeps doing it.

Imagine a self-declared libertarian party openly announcing that freedom isn’t that big a priority in the grand scheme of things.

Whenever a commentator or politician says “We must get Brexit back on track”, it’s never clear what they mean exactly. Probably not even to themselves.

The Rwanda plan is in that hard to reach place on a Venn diagram where impractical, cruel and hugely expensive meet.

Spoilers: the Rwanda Bill isn’t the answer to Sunak’s popularity problem his advisers have been searching for.
