Damn good editing
Boris used to burn £20 notes in front of homeless people. Sunak burns human rights laws in front of refugees.
Sunak should go to Rwanda and live there for few months without his financial support as a test pilot.
Not pressing for him though
😂 I don't mind that actually, I hope Rishi wins actually.
Fulfills his promise and makes £1000 in the process… win-win.
Just shows how easily shoenak can be bought
£1000 to a billionaire is pennies he shouldn't be prime minister because he's unfit and unelected simple as that.
UK citizens are always last with Government.
Hes scum and why to refugee charity 🤬
People so obnoxious. The money would go to a charity. Why complain? Everyone should shut their traps.
Israel had a voluntary departure scheme with Rwanda between 2014 and 2017. Rwanda merely took the majority, if not all, and smuggled them out of the country by land to Kampala [in Uganda] within days of arriving in [the Rwandan capital] Kigali.
Of about 4,000 people estimated to have been deported by Israel to Rwanda and Uganda under a “voluntary departure” scheme between 2014 and 2017, almost all are thought to have left the country almost immediately, with many attempting to return to Europe via people-smuggling routes.
The BBC has spoken to a number of former asylum seekers who were sent to Rwanda from Israel. They all took part in the scheme between 2014 and 2016 and have since settled in Europe. Separately, we are aware of at least one similar case living in the UK. Others interviewed by migration experts have given similar accounts.
Many spoke of being met at the airport in Kigali by a local man called John. This testimony spans several years so it is impossible to verify if "John" was the same person throughout. They described then having their papers taken from them by people who appeared to be Rwandan officials, before being driven to a hotel which was guarded and which they were barred from leaving.
They were then told to pay up to $500 to be driven in groups to the Ugandan border. Cars were waiting on the other side to drive them to the capital, Kampala. Again they were made to pay.
But with no work or documentation, they say they needed to keep moving – joining the well-worn migration routes across Africa and the Mediterranean to reach Europe.

A true gentleman always honors hos bets…….Regency England! 😂
Making dill with the devil 👿👿
Scallop ears 🥥
That’s the kind of “news” that get reported when we run out of real news
Not a fan of Sunak, but surely this is that Moran piers fault. Rishi would have blamed either way.
These two deserve each other, both smug imbeciles that the public despise.
he shook his hand which was his way of accepting the bet privately as he couldent say it out loud.’
This guy is not a honest and sincere individual
Let alone to be a leader
Shameful
Piers is a master of deception. He managed to let people focus all their bad energy on Rishi, and he got out of it himself.
0:37 "One MP?" That’s the Westminsrer leader of the SNP, not just any MP
Is this really worth all this attention are there not more important things. Like our country being invaded.
The spineless and entitled little spiv is, at least, consistent.
Isn't a shock is it…I cant.afford food.and gas.
And the news is playing with headlines about a handshake.
You know people are dying right
1) the optics are bad. £1000:00 bets when Britain has thousands of food-banks and many people are either starving or freezing.
2) why go near toxic waste like Morgan? He is to be avoided at all costs because his interview is all about him. He has zero credibility, is a proven liar, a phone tapper and should, in fact, be in prison!!
It’s a conflict of interest. He will now profit if the planes take off to Rwanda. This isn’t allowed. We all know he’s bent and his family are profiting from Israeli war crimes as his father in law has a billion pound deal with BP to extract the natural resources from Palestine. That is hush hush. But this £1000 bet is blatantly not allowed. No shame, he should have to step down
If he betting £1000 for that I'd love to know how much he is betting for British people? 😂
Sunak is such a child, it's been waffling about his plan for a year and a half, ''my plan is this and will deliver that plan, because it's a good plan and we are making great progress, so we're going to stick to the plan, because the other guy doesn't have a plan and we do.''
Sunak has a plan but not a plane.
It's a sure thing.
His unfunny comment in front of that murder victims mum in Parliament was truly stupid and shameful
“Asylum seekers” is just a euphemism for economic migrants.
This will be a policy that you are clearly willing to die on 😅😅😅
