Starmer said this spending promise was the right thing to do,knowing it was 5 billion short, with no idea where the money will come from.

You don’t want to be doing that - you’ll get taxed at 40% or 45% the first month, and won’t get the overpayment back till the following year…

Rwanda was illegal so good luck with that. If it was such a great idea, why was it saved to the last minute when they knew they would lose the election. Hint: It wasn't a good idea.

It couldn’t work while the ECHR and the Human Rights Act remained in place, which hadn’t dawned on Sunak until after he made his six promises to judge him by!
There’s nothing else that would have prevented it from working as far as I know.
It’s always a good idea to amend or end existing legislation that gets in the way of proposed changes a government wants to make.

Yes, but you talk as if it’s impossible to change legislation. It isn’t.

Does that include illegal immigration?
