#BaronessOwen has voted that #Rwanda is safe as a matter of law, no matter the facts on the ground.

That is now the law.

No one voted to give her this power for life. Boris simply put her in the Lords without any explanation.

How is this democratic ?

Former Post Office CEO Paula Vennells asked her husband to find a “non-emotive word for computer bugs”

'Bugs' became “branch exceptions”; innocent postmasters continued to be prosecuted.

It’s not just the Rwanda bill that is a stain on the UKs moral reputation. It is Sunak himself and the entire Tory party.
The Tory stench is now overpowering.

Whether or not the UK passed into law the most nonsensical, inhumane Safety of Rwanda Bill esteems to have come down to who could stay awake longer - MPs or Peers.

A ridiculous finale for the most ridiculous law put forward by the most ridiculous government.

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.

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?'

Conservative MP Keiran Mullan, 'Well, immigration judges are not the judges that try

UK gave £12bn support to Ukraine.

£72bn for wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.

In the last decade over £75bn handed to rail companies. Billions more to other companies.

Terror tactics by the govt to subvert parliament.

Govt defeated in the Lords on the Rwanda Bill by 240 to 211 votes

Lords want a Scrutiny Committee to report on the implementation of the Bill. This could eventually change the law and bring in the courts

Govt opposes parliamentary scrutiny, insists minister's word is final.

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..'

Sunak believes that getting the Rwanda flights started will be a positive for the Tories.

The whole world knows (especially the UK electorate) that a vote for the flights will further seal the view of the Tories as beneath contempt.

Page 48 of the 2019 Tory manifesto. 'We need to look at the relationship between the government, Parliament and the Courts' intending to eradicate any interference in the 'Executive' meaning Front Bench decisions made. This is Mugabe politics for sure.
