For the reported cost of each deportee to Rwanda - ยฃ1.8 million - if they just gave it to the deportees, they could donate half a mil each to the Tory party and end up with a seat in the Lords for life

If you plan to brutalise people, then just do it. But don't call it compassion, you degenerate Orwellian freak.

The whole absurdity of the Rwanda scheme, in 60 seconds, from Sky News' Tom Cheshire.

A performative, reputation-trashing drop in the ocean, at the cost of ยฃ660,000 per removee.

Please share! ~AA

Just remember when you hear all the Tories bleating from your radios and TVs today, that the large majority of those coming across the channel in boats ARE eventually granted asylum because they are GENUINE refugees

This new law disgraces Britain!

In the 1770s, the British government planned to send convicts to Gambia. They were stopped by protesters, who feared that those transported would die there.

In the 2020s, the British government plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. They appear impervious to protest.

No one who tells the truth can say the Rwanda Bill will stop small boats. It will not. Conflict, starvation, colonisation, climate change: the inevitable consequences of these things cannot be legislated away by any Parliament. The Rwanda Bill is founded on a lie.

Thanks to Mr Sunak for the effort he made for the teenage girl in my constituency who waited 5 years for her rape trial.

Fo anyone who does not realise. The French government has repeatedly offered to build FOR FREE a refugee processing centre in France and will allow UK Border Control officials to man it. The UK refuses because the Conservatives/Brexit Party
want and need the small boat crises

Anyone participating in any part of a process that violates international law and common humanity should remember that โ€œI was obeying ordersโ€ is not a defence.

I see the UK government has, under pressure finally had to reveal the cost of sending a refugee to Rwanda. ยฃ1.8 million per person. For that same cost of ONE individual an entire refugee processing centre could be built and staffed in France solving the boats problem overnight.

Speaking to BBC News (UK) as the government loses yet another vote on their incompetent and immoral Rwanda scheme. Rishi Sunak's government-by-press-release is making a mockery of our country's reputation.

Stephen Kinnock: 'Just let those court documents sink in... the Prime Minister, of the United Kingdom, explicitly instructed the Ministry of Defence & the Home Office to stop assisting Afghans who put their lives on the line for our country... what a betrayal of British values..'

Yet again a driver in an SUV has ploughed into a school.

Geofenced, speed-limited cars can't come soon enough.

Disgraceful that BBC Week in Westminster last night gave a platform to far-right activist Matt Goodwin

Who does he represent? A tiny minority of off-the-radar far right opinion, that's who.

Our national broadcaster is facilitating fascists. Reith must be turning in his grave
