Rwanda would have stopped the boats, so there would be no ongoing costs.
Have you worked out yet how much it’s costing us, on a continuing basis, to house them in hotels?

No. Too many bleeding heart liberals prevented better progress being made.
It would have worked, but it wasn’t given a chance, was it?

Because of the blocking by the troublemakers. It was never really allowed to start.

They were in charge, yes, and a General election was looming. They couldn’t go for a final push and then face more legal action because time was not on their side.
You keep saying it wouldn’t have worked, but you never say why.
The human rights lawyers wouldn’t have put so much into opposing it if they thought that.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Is any migration good migration? I don't mean better off financially. I mean where they come from is bad. The life migrants build is invalid in this question. I'm just questioning migration itself.

Maybe these lawyers just thought there was something wrong with sending asylum seekers to a country which wasn't safe (we accepted asylum seekers from there).

Yes it was, and as you well know it faced huge opposition from Labour in the Commons and a barrage of legal cases brought by human rights lawyers that had to be heard first. That is not evidence it wouldn’t have worked, they were just obstacles put in the way that had to be negotiated.
Are you having problems with your memory, Russ?

They were do-gooders making money for themselves, nothing more. And at great cost to taxpayers.

Likely a lot less than yourself.
Maybe the reason there were challenges was that sending them to an unsafe country was the wrong thing to do?

You genuinely have no idea how Lawyers work, do you?

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Better late than never but Reeves must now be on a future re-shuffle list.

Rachel Reeves under investigation by standards watchdog over theatre tickets
The Chancellor is understood to have referred herself to the parliamentary commissioner for standards over the late declaration.
Rachel Reeves is under investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog after a late declaration of free theatre tickets.
The Chancellor is understood to have referred herself to Daniel Greenberg, the parliamentary commissioner for standards, over the late declaration.
The tickets from the National Theatre were accepted and received on December 27, but were not declared on the members’ register of interests until March 27.
According to parliamentary rules, MPs must update any changes to their financial interests within 28 days.

She stopped this year, these free tickets were from December 2024.
I'd be fuming if I was Starmer.
