Our prime minister should be deported to Ruanda.

I am selling my house this year and going to live in a better and warmer country than this tiny nasty expensive cold awful country…

Such a waste of money, set up a processing centre in Northern France, genuine asylum seekers can get safe passage, that would save lives and stop people crossing.

You can always tell when a polotition is lying...there awake

[sphenoidjjj]

Sickening what people will do to try and remain in power

[platypass]

A ruse to take the eye off of his welfare scandal. What about Corporate Welfare???

[samb]

No one is deterred by sending 300 people to Rawanda, a country the uk accepts asylum seekers from.

Who elected this muppet? How many Tory Lords? = 278. How many Labour Lords? = 173. How’s yer maths Rishi?

[pygmalion]

When does the first flight of Rwandas refugees arrive in Britain

[WalkEmDownTrizzy]

Spending money on invaders rather than using it to help your community. Politicians will all get the rоре

He should be holding a press conference to deliver a date for the general election. He needs to go

[jasonladd]

I support this 100%. Anything is worth a try to stop this 8bn a year asylum nightmare.

[annbrannigan]

The deal with Albania, was that just paying the Albanian prime minister millions of pounds to take his own people back.?

[SinaJ]

Does sending asylum seekers to Rowanda resolve the current economic issues in the UK?😏

[deltac]

Tik tok … the sadness of seeing cruelty unfold in front of your eyes and the joy of knowing that within 281 days this will all be reversed when grown ups take over …

[GabsareSarg]

I don't think the UK has the right to tell anyone what to do after what they did in India, Australia, America, Canada, and so many other countries and territories for centuries. 😂😂

[anebrio]

Convenient to miss out that part of the deal is people will be coming the other way.

[robbiewright]

He's lying, I know because his mouth is moving.

[SuperGoldenv]

How did they make Tony Blair that colour?

[ianedmonds]

His ears look massive. Big Ears isn't going to stop Human Rights.
