As a Rwandan living in the UK for a decade, this has been…interesting to observe to say the least

[MarkHewitt]

It is about time the Tories started doing their squabbling in opposition instead of taking the country down with them.

[MrM-eobb]

This is just insane. So the Supreme Court lists 5 very basic reasons why Rwanda is not safe. Sunaks response to this is to pass legislation that says it is safe? WTF!?

[erint]

The reason I struggle with policies like the Rwanda saga is because even if you removed your personal political beliefs, its just a terrible plan that costs too much and wont actually change the 'problem'. If migration is a genuine concern to conservatives, then tackling actual migration and not getting headlines is just a far better investment of time and money. This policy is the 'juice cleanse ' of the politics world 😂

[massiha]

Imagine being so horrific that the Rwandan government thinks you are too inhumane. Makes one think about all the choices that delivered us to this point in history.

[calumbishop]

The Conservatives entire strategy at this point is hope that Starmer and Labour screw up in some form that causes a shift in the opinion. The problem is even on the occasions Starmer and Labour do screw up (e.g. Gaza, Rachel Reeves Plagiarism row, ect.) its often completely overshadowed but some new (or renewed) scandal in the Conservatives.

The fact is people are already fed up and just want the General Election to happen already so we can all move on.

Giving away hundreds of thousands of £s whilst our nation is suffering the biggest drop in living conditions for a scheme that has more holes than Swiss cheese with its clauses and and no chance of happening but is still costing us millions more is insane. Its absolutely insane.

[zesky]

This is such a stupid policy. Mind bogglingly stupid.

[wich]

The UK really has gone completely batshit crazy...

[johnnypericles]

I personally think it is hilarious that the Tories have responded to the statement that Rwanda isn't safe with legislation that officially states "nuh uh".

[Ash-V]

EU court: "Rwanda isn't a safe country."

British government: "Yes it is. See, we've passed a bill that says it is."

[angiki]

Legislating what ruling a court is allowed to make is insane on its face.

[mrelephant]

It's a lot of effort for a (judicially ruled illegal) policy that will ultimately not deter migrants because y'know, people will always keep trying to get into the UK.

[jordonbooman]

I wish all it took for a country to be peaceful and safe was for big Rishi to sign a bill saying the country is peaceful and safe

[indefatigable]

If I grew up in a one nation Tory house, was middle class and believed that a combination of Iraq and a ketchup sandwich had sealed the fate of the Labour Party forever…. I’d be panicking right now.

[poodlehorn]

What really gets me is when they bang on about Labour having no alternative, like arent the Tories the ones in power for the last 14 YEARS!?

[Interitus]

it's amazing to watch a party destroy itself.

[phil]

Tories having problems in the parliamentary party? No change there, ask John Major.

[tremarley]

I finally understand it. It isn’t anything to do with safety, policies, politics, or agendas.

It all boils down to the astronomical costs of lawyer fees in the UK & Rwanda

[virtious]

If only the Tories would devote as much time and effort into dealing with issues that the British people are actually concerned with, such as cost of living crisis and crumbling public services.
