Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
Looks like it was a tough PMQs for Sunak on the Rwanda treaty.
Quote:
Starmer said: “When they first announced this gimmick, they claimed Rwanda would settle tens of thousands of people … then the Court of Appeal made clear in June there’s housing for just 100. The number of people sent there remains stubbornly consistent - Zero.

“At the same time, article 19 of the treaty says the parties shall make arrangements for the UK to resettle a portion of Rwanda’s most vulnerable refugees in the UK. So how many refugees from Rwanda will be coming here to the UK under the treaty?”

As Sunak rose to respond he was drowned out by laughter, and with a high-pitched voice mistakenly referred to “Mr Speaker” instead of “Madam Deputy Speaker”, as Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House, is off sick with Covid and is being replaced by Eleanor Laing.

He hurriedly rushed through his response, saying “it’s a point of pride that we are a compassionate country” and then said Starmer wanted to “cook up a deal with the EU”. The Labour leader didn’t look worried at all - match point Starmer.
