Following the passing of the Rwanda Is Safe (Ipse Dixit) Act, at #PMQs Jonathan Gullis celebrates the Untied Kingdom's government 'deporting' its first asylum seeker to Rwanda.
What he fails to mention is that the individual in question volunteered to be flown to Rwanda at our expense, sweetened with a £3000 lump sum, again at our expense.
And our Second-Past-The-Post Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, fails to call his attack dog to heel.
The one person right now who you might have expect to be called to speak in a debate of racism in the House of Commons would be Diane Abbott who, subject of a high profile incidence of racist language from a Tory donor... yet the Speaker said that despite Abbott rising over 40 times to speak during the debate, he ran out of time to call her.
If you wanted to confirm to the average voter that the political system is racist, this would be a good way to do it.
James O'Brien is incensed that Hoyle called Mark Francois instead of giving Diane Abbott a sort of 'Right of Reply' so I rechecked the Order Paper for 13/03:
Bye bye Lee Anderson, stripped of the Tory whip. Now how long has Liz Truss got? And Badenoch? And it makes me wonder whether British politics shouldn’t just have an annual feast day where all the parties just take out their trash with no questions asked.
Rishi Sunak at #PMQ making jibes about people who are #trans whilst #briannaghey’s mother is actually watching in the gallery is a new low.
Never has the term #ToryScum been more appropriate.
PM said “my daughter is climate champion in our house”. So what does she think of climate-wrecking #Rosebank oil field, & handing £3.75bn of taxpayer cash to oil giant @Equinor to develop it? Can he look her in the eye & say he's giving young people a liveable future?
Minister said those trying to come to UK “tend to have completely different values to those in the UK”. What's different about values of war-torn Sudanese? Why won't PM create Sudanese Family Visa Scheme as for Ukrainians? He can't answer. Hard-right rhetoric continues
