Yvette Cooper - what a good debater she is! Runs absolute rings around the government.

And the UK still has to accept people from Rwanda in return.

This will finally be a last straw for Rishi. Election in the Spring? ASAP please!

All for the sake of possibly deporting 200 people. What use is that when the backlog of asylum applications is in the 1000s?

Anyway, the Bill is so preposterous that there's very little chance that it will make it through the House of Lords even if it is rushed through the Commons stages.

Yvette Cooper had a thing or two to say about it (and much more eloquently than I ever could), so I'll leave it to her ...

Letters from The Times, just about sums up this shambles.

No amount of “legislation” will make something it isn’t!

Meanwhile we are sending another £150million to Rwanda for nothing. They saw this government coming didn’t they?
