What on earth is going on outside the university where the live debate is taking place? Sounds pretty crazy!

yeah and Rushi has banged on about Rwanda and I'm sure he'll mention his mum worked for the NHS - not sure what your point is

As to the protests - we live in a democracy - people are allowed to protest

Apologies, but there's an irony.
The Conservative Public Order Act 2023 suggests otherwise, about protests.

Rishi’s pledge to ‘tackle welfare’ followed up with his pledge to increase child benefit and the pension triple lock pissed me off so much that I had to pour myself a stiff drink. Such twattery.

Yes! and I was very disappointed that Keir didn't point out that most benefit claimants are IN WORK!

Glad he mentioned careers though!

@BeckyWithTheGoodHair010101 "Starmer said he was going to "process" immigrants."

As opposed to.,.,,,,?

As opposed to putting them all on planes to Rwanda over the course of 300 years, apparently.

Well - to be fair - you started it!

Please don’t start derailing this post with the Palestine thing. You have enough threads going on about it, why not pop on there instead?

Well - to be fair - you started it!

I'm sure you are. Genocide clearly doesn't bother you then does it

I don’t get how Starmer thinks he can take out gangs. If it’s a solution why is the EU with their billions spent on this issue not doing it?

We’ll be the only country taking that stance

Haven’t seen it yet.

Is that correct? Sunak seriously suggested negotiating with the Taliban to send back people who fled theTaliban?

WTF is wrong with him?

What a stupid thing to say re the Taliban! Starmer should have pointed out the numbers of people that Rwanda have agreed to take- a miniscule amount- for a hefty chunk of money!

He said Labour's answer was to negotiate with the Taliban - he said most people where coming from Iran, Syria and Afghanistan - so acknowledged that these where brutal regimes - then added that he will send all these legitimate asylum seekers to Rwanda - saying he would send 50,000! It's such twattery

No - he was mocking Starmer. Starmer said he was going to "process" immigrants.

I’ve just started watching will await toolmaker line

Too late!

I don't mind him and I do wish he'd drop the line - but fuck me Rushi banging on about immigration while also banging on about 'negotiating with the Taliban to take people back' - which is it - people fleeing the Taliban OR illegal people being sent to Rwanda - fuck me - if you are fleeing the Taliban surely your asylum claim is valid and we let you stay! He's such an ass hat - banging on about putting 'illegals' on the plane while also accepting they are legitimate asylum seekers! Come on Keir hold him to his bullshit

I expect the Palestinian people are rather more sick of being murdered.

Keir has mentioned he ran the CPS, take a shot!

Next one when he tells us his dad was a toolmaker

MeinKraft · 26/06/2024 20:44

@ghostyslovesheets I like Keir and want Labour to win! It's just funny the way they have stock phrases. Well Rishi's aren't actually funny because they're outrageous lies that damage the country but anyway.

HeBeaverandSheBeaver · 26/06/2024 20:42

Pointless protest. What can govt do realistically. Advise the war stops to the Israeli govt. That's about it.

stop selling arms to Israel?

soundsys · 26/06/2024 20:43

Oh is that what the protest is about? Can't really hear the details!
