> I am unable to make a statement that, in my view, the provisions of the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill are compatible with the Convention rights, but the government nevertheless wishes the House to proceed with the Bill.
The words (in writing) of James Cleverly. Inspires confidence, doesn’t it.
To now go further and even push potential ministerial orders to ignore the European Court of Human Rights is just baffling. Finally the Supreme Court declared Rwanda unsafe, I am assuming that even if this will pass as law it will hopefully again be challenged on those grounds.
Still wont go ahead and the illegal migration disaster will continue
Ugh. Jess philip’s statement was superb. What an incredibly immortal waste of money this shit show is.
Nobody believes this will be an effective deterrent, it’s political posturing at great expense to the public. It would be much better to tighten the Border Force and tackle undeclared work.
All this parliamentary time and effort for something that will never work. It’ll get blocked by the courts again, and even if it did no airline has agreed to work with the scheme to fly people to Rwanda.
This is nothing but a failing government, with a failing scheme, failing to tackle a problem that only can about because of a failing government.
Tories bringing yet more shame on this country. Election now.
How can they declare Rwanda safe and yet grant Rwandan refugees asylum? Something doesn’t add up.
A lot of conservatives won’t be happy with this Rwanda Bill. It’s not tough enough for them and they will vote Reform UK.
Beyond ridiculous…
What a waste of time only to tarnish the UK even more.
This is all a waste of time. Worst pantomime leading up to the GE
If anything, the Tories all agreeing that somewhere is safe makes me believe it less. If they came in wet and told me it was raining I’d go and check for myself.

What a disgrace. Rwanda isn’t any safer just because the Tories now voted for it being declared safe. Just a few years ago refugees were shot there: https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/02/23/rwanda-year-no-justice-refugee-killings
