I really feel uncomfortable when anyone refers to people as illegals. It’s seeing them as ‘other and denies their humanity. ’.
Fact is there isn’t a legal way to apply for asylum in advance of arrival.

The Tory backwoods Right are all mouth and no trousers. They'll meekly vote for the Bill at 3rd Reading.

It's one of those things that seems like a good idea but doesn't work in practise.
Until we stop treating illegals as honoured guests, they will keep coming.
If this country were a floating island, it would have sunk beneath the waves by now.

💯👏👏

You have to ask if Sunak ever intended them to Maizie and if he didn't what exactly was all this for?

Today 60 Conservative - the alleged party of law and order - MPs voted in favour of an amendment that would have prevented UK law from being used.

Insane.

Even if it goes through tomorrow I think the Lords will hold it up.

I don't see any planes taking off for Rwanda before the general election.

I was and it will be Whitewave.

Assuming that you are talking about Rwanda bill - I think the third reading will be the most interesting.

I think that it will go through tomorrow though.

Mind you if the amendments get passed then I can’t ever see a plane taking off - so maybe I should hope the amendments do pass😄😄

Possibly more interesting tomorrow. They won't though, will they?
