Downing Street said that the law could be published within a fortnight, after next week’s autumn statement. “Certainly we want to do it as quickly as possible,” Sunak’s official spokesperson said, adding that progress would depend on other parties and the Commons speaker, Lindsay Hoyle.
In the words of the last head of the supreme court, the government needs to change the legislation, not legislate to change the **Facts**.
In his opinion, this nonsense is bound to fail, too.
Of course the government can move quickly for this Tory policy, but heaven forbid it move things quickly on, say, the Renters (Reform) Bill to ban no fault evictions and ensure a decent standard of living…
It’s not like having a safe, decent quality roof over your head with actual safeguards for tenants is important or anything.
What’s Rwanda take on this, or are they a colony of Britain who have no say in this?
So, any consequence when Rwanda starts sending refugees we shipped out back to countries that want to execute and/or torture them?
Of all the ways you could solve the problem, they chose the most ridiculous way possible and they’re sticking to their guns. I wonder which Tory donor is benefiting from this one.
So we have time to do this but not ban conversion therapy?
Based.
I’ve got a leather jacket older than the “supreme” court. It’s just a Blairite invention.
Fuck them.
I wish they would give up on it already I mean ffs man no one wants this

Downing Street said that the law could be published within a fortnight, after next week’s autumn statement. “Certainly we want to do it as quickly as possible,” Sunak’s official spokesperson said, adding that progress would depend on other parties and the Commons speaker, Lindsay Hoyle.
Sunak would, his spokesperson said, urge MPs and peers to back the law because it was what voters wanted. [[The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/16/uk-government-to-present-full-law-to-set-aside-supreme-court-rwanda-decision)]
In December 2022, immigration minister Robert Jenrick confirmed that Rwanda so far agreed to accept only 200 people: “Rwanda has made initial provision to receive 200 people and has plans to scale up capacity once flights begin.” [[The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/15/what-will-the-supreme-courts-rwanda-judgment-mean-for-uk-immigration-policy)]
The UK government has already paid Rwanda £140 million in development funding. [[Hansard](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2022-12-19/debates/B5009C67-E69A-4248-8F16-77439DE48472/MigrationAndEconomicDevelopment)]
Another £12,000 will be paid for each person sent there. [[Commons Library](https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9568)]
