Tonight: UK Parliament debating Sunak's new Rwanda plan to deport immigrants and he could face defeat
BBC ^ | Dec 12 | BBC

Posted on 12/12/2023 10:21:42 AM PST by RandFan

The co-chairs of the New Conservatives, a group of MPs on the right of the party, say they can't back the government's new Rwanda bill

The House of Commons will vote this evening on whether to support the new law on asylum seekers

But Danny Kruger and Miriam Cates say they won't support it - meaning they could abstain, or even vote against

Rishi Sunak has spent the day trying to persuade Conservative MPs in order to avoid a major defeat

This morning, he told the New Conservatives he could "tighten" the bill in order to get their support

The Rwanda plan would send people who arrive in the UK in small boats to the east African country, where they could claim asylum

TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Conspiracy
KEYWORDS:
The right wont support it as they believe it's not tight enough to avoid defeat in the courts.

This could be a major defeat for the gov't on a flagship policy.

The courts are going to kill any chance of saving England. The truth is it’s already gone

At this point it’s all just rearranging deck chairs on The Titanic.

below is what I posted on 12/13/2019. Even then I believed Labour would take back power at the next election. All this Rwanda stuff is not going to change that. The Tories should just patiently wait for the inevitable loss of power.

-————————from 12/13/2019——————
the nice thing about a big majority in the parliament is now there is never going to be a good reason to call an early election.

this will be a full 5 Year government, even if public opinion changes along the way.

British MPs advance bill on deporting migrants to Rwanda

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday faced down rebels in his ruling Conservative party by winning a knife-edge parliamentary vote on his latest plans to send migrants to Rwanda.

UK related update. Love the spin...

Rishi Sunak confirms next UK general election will be held in 2024

If anyone thinks this will be a free and fair election, when it's finally held, note two things: The recent changes to the UK's election law, and the type of voting machines now used in the UK.

There are no voting machines in the UK the population would not stand for it.

You place an X at the ballot and its hand counted by volunteers at the city hall

IT CAN BE DONE...

London now uses electronic voting machines to count votes.

I’m still trying to find out what the rest of England uses.

The UK’s Deep State doesn’t make it easy to find out for some reason.
