Deportation flights to Rwanda will take off in 10 to 12 weeks, Rishi Sunak says
The wrangling between the Commons and the Lords continues, as MPs and peers vote on the Rwanda bill.
What chartered flights? Even the Rwanda airline wants nothing to do with this.
Where are all the extra judges suddenly come from? Are you pulling then off other cases like rape and murder?
No interference from Foreign courts. They're not foreign, it's the European court of which we, the UK, are a member.
Labour keeps voting against the bill! Yes, they do but you have the majority in the house of commons and the Lords. It's the Tory lords voting against this bill because they have the sense to realise how batshit this legislation is.
Rant over.
What chartered flights? Even the Rwanda airline wants nothing to do with this.
Given the enormous cost per person and the low numbers of people they are shifting, I am sure they could find an old school chum with a spare private jet lying about that they can hire out for an exorbitant fee.
I do think that it is fascinating that the only Tories with any kind of morals, and let's be honest any brains, are the unelected ones.
The tory party used to be much further left than they are currently, More centre right, and many of those ex MPs are voting against this nonsense.
Once they're in the lords they needn't fear the whip and so don't need to toe the more stupid party lines.
Oh right so has he found an airline to take them then?
Jesus Christ what an absolute idiot we have as a prime minister. Why does he insist on this policy, literally no one likes it. It is unpopular with everyone other than the hardline right, why can these absolute morons not see that he is repeatedly shooting himself in the foot by even talking about this.
Corrupt government is one thing but incompetent is quite another. I could almost respect a corrupt but competent prime minister.
My guess is they know they are out in the next election, so they are getting the last few policies they've already been paid for out there.
Empty flights from a military base with no press allowed, guaranteed.
I'd quite like a government that doesn't make me ashamed to be British.
In the meantime, does anyone know of any legal funds I can donate to that will help the people being targeted by this inhumane policy?
Is there anyway of making money when this eventually does Not happen?
You likely won't get good odds from a bookie unless they suspect the government will get one or two there by hook or by crook.
Piers M*rgan seems to have a way
This cunt never had a mandate and needs to call an election now.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The first flights deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda will take off in 10 to 12 weeks Rishi Sunak has announced - missing his original spring target.
Last week, peers demanded two changes to the bill - for an independent monitoring committee to be put in place and for exemptions for Afghans who'd assisted the British military.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said: "No amount of soundbites or spin can change the fact that the Conservatives' Rwanda scheme is a colossal failure.
This ping pong between the two Houses of Parliament could go on until either the government concedes and makes concessions, or peers give up on their suggested amendments - a process which could go on until late into the night.
Effectively, the legislation would drastically limit the grounds for legal challenges to the Rwanda scheme and it gives ministers the power to disregard some human rights law.
The scheme was first introduced on 14 April 2022 by then-prime minister Boris Johnson, but no asylum seeker has yet been sent to Rwanda - a landlocked country in central Africa - 4,000 miles (6,500km) from the UK.

He's a tiny cunt and he'll be gone in a few months.
Election in 11 weeks then, it seems!
