This is what happens when you have to clear up after a Labour Government.
Sometimes it’s really not neededWhere’s the white text?
Am I wildly off with my prediction that he is going to lose the Rwanda vote and his position will become untenable resulting in letters to the 1922 committee and he’s a goner.
Yes, this is all for show. He'll win this vote, but have tougher challenges in January whether to side with the right wing nutters or moderates in the Tory party on the 3rd reading.
... however, if he does lose the vote then I've got the popcorn ready![]()
If you need white text for that it's a you problem.Where’s the white text?

Agreed.
He will win the vote. But the question is... will it mean anything. Will anyone actually be sent to Rwanda.
Peter Bone is voting. Desperation.
Nick Brown resigns from Labour over ‘complete farce’ disciplinary process
Nick Brown, a veteran Labour MP and former chief whip, has announced he has resigned from the party over a long-running internal disciplinary process involving him that Brown said had become “a complete farce”.
In a lengthy and furious letter, Brown said he would not stand again at the next election, in part because he is now 73 and has been in parliament for 40 years.
However, he said this decision was made against the “backdrop of a long-running internal Labour party disciplinary process against me – a process which I consider (and am advised) is so fundamentally, and inexcusably, flawed that I can no longer engage with it”.
In his letter, released via the legal firm Carter-Ruck, Brown said the complaint, the details of which have not been made public, came from “a political rival within the party” and concerned an alleged event said to have taken place more than 25 years earlier.

Just listening to a very informative discussion on Radio 5live. First from a man who has recently worked in Rwanda and the DRC. And he is absolutely adamant that Rwanda is not by any stretch of the imagination a safe country.
And it has been pointed out that our government has already committed close to £300m with another £700m allocated to the Rwanda plan. £1bn it is costing.
And the maximum number of immigrants Rwanda can process each year....500 maximum.
So. To put this into perspective. In 2022 there were 745,000 immigrants coming into the UK.
And all the narrative from the government is about the possibility of sending a maximum of 500/year to Rwanda!!!
All for the tidy sum of £1,000,000 of your and my money.
Fantastic eh.
Given Bibby's "Heritage" of transporting people across the Atlantic against their will I'm sure they they'll know what to do!Probably less safe than fecking Rwanda. Bastards.

You forgot the best bit:
"The UK has also committed to resettling a small but unspecified number of vulnerable refugees currently in Rwanda"

500 go from the UK to Rwanda, but we get some of their refugees in return!
It doesn't matter whether he wins the vote. It's just for show. They talk about legal migration which has exploded because of Brexit. They talk of asylum seekers and refugees, who aren't illegal, and which is a tiny figure. These agitate the public. But they never talk about the real illegal immigrants like visa overstayers and they have no idea of the numbers of real illegal immigrants so they don't mention them and demonise all the others.
It's never going to pass international law so it will cost them many billions of pounds more if their trade deals are annulled and the Windsor framework/NIP is put in danger because of breaking international law.

So this bill isn't passing. Could be GE or leadership contest.
It's like the big, pointless vanity farce that was the Millennium Dome, but with more human rights violations.You forgot the best bit:

Wasn't that the Labour amendment?Didn't pass.
Wrong unfortunately.Didn't pass.
They can try but each individual case now will make its way through the court and be heard on its individual merits which will be very expensive and will result in very few actually being sent.
