Rishi Sunak has an airfield on standby, flights booked, 500 'highly trained individuals', all raring to go to ship a few poor folk to Rwanda.
Big macho talk.
Shame he doesn't have the same determination to deliver the 40 new hospitals we were promised as long ago as 2019.

Desperately sad to see the Rwanda Bill pass through its final stages tonight.

As I’ve been saying for months (see 👇), it’s immoral, unworkable, and eye-wateringly expensive.

Above all, it’s just designed to save Sunak’s skin.

#RwandaBill

Braverman said twice on BBC Radio 4 Today that the British public had repeatedly voted for the Rwanda policy. When was that then? Tories have been spectacularly battered in 20 by-elections since Hartlepool and Rwanda wasn’t in the 2019 manifesto.

'A development company that sells off land no longer needed by Thames Water has paid out a £14m dividend despite warnings'.

Yep despite now demanding bill payers bailout the failing WC Thames Water 💧 and or their owners are still trying to pickpocket you.

Rwanda bill an expensive & self defeatingly cruel symbol of damage Tory Governments do.

It won’t stop boats, will waste millions of taxpayer cash & still refugees will be at risk of harm under our watch. No one wins tonight. Our nation just loses more.

General election now.

'Never put off planting something or you will find that ten years later you are saying 'If only we had planted that wisteria,' and you are filled with sad thoughts. It isn't too late. Do it now, and if you don't live to enjoy it, somebody else will.' ~A.A.Milne #planting

No matter what your cause is, as soon as you start telling deliberate lies, you've damaged the very thing you wanted to achieve. We can't allow ourselves to be led by liars.

Demand honesty, ESPECIALLY from your own side, and people will trust you. And then you win the debate.

Aspire66🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Otto English It has been proven to be unsafe. We have accepted refugees from Rwanda in the last few months so we agree it is unsafe. You cannot legislate that away. If it was safe it wouldn't be a deterrent and would do nothing to stop the boats anyway. The costs are very poor value.

Aspire66🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Otto English You do know the agreement is reciprocal.

While we can send only 200 unwanted UK asylum seekers there, Rwanda can send their most problematic failed asylum seekers to us in return.

PS cost is c.£500m for 200.

Farrukh Lord Sharpe was so unnecessarily rude to Natalie Bennett after that.
Commenting on the absence of Jenny Jones and his subsequent derogatory comments about Baroness Bennett remaining in the chamber. He may have a title but he lacks class.

Baroness Bennett, 'I rise with a heavy heart.. To this this dreadful international law busting bill'

Nick O'Donnell Imagine heading for bed after achieving a piece of legislation like the Rwanda plan that isn't even going to stave off electoral oblivion. I know these people didn't get into politics for benevolent reasons, but you'd think, in some remote part of their conscience, they might

Victoria Derbyshire, 'The fact that you've magically found 150 judges, 25 court rooms, offering 5,000 sitting days... Is it more a priority to send people to Rwanda than to try alleged rapists?'

Sipping champagne in a multimillionaire's parly office before sealing the fates of some of the most desperate human beings on Earth.

Whip's off. Going home.

A sad day for Britain. Passing laws that assert lies the government wish to be true is not something healthy political systems do.

My thoughts are with all those now at risk of deportation to an unsafe country.

Austerity, Brexit, Truss debacle, Rwanda
Shameful
