Rwanda's President Kagame is meeting Sunak in Downing Street tonight

"Both leaders looked forward to flights departing to Rwanda in the spring”

Wragg has resigned the whip!

Cheguevarahamster · 09/04/2024 18:45

@TokyoSushi Just about to post that!

William Wragg has given up the Conservative Party Whip over the MP blackmailing scandal.

DuncinToffee · 09/04/2024 18:46

Haha, me too Grin

Does that mean there only needs to be 52 letters now? 15% of 347?

RafaistheKingofClay · 09/04/2024 18:51

slightly annoying he was allowed to resign.

Wragg has resigned the whip!

But why not as an MP as he has shown himself to be utterly unsuitable.

RafaistheKingofClay · 09/04/2024 18:51

@RafaistheKingofClay he should have been sacked , but Rish! is far too weak to have done that.

dontcallmelen · 09/04/2024 18:59

So does that mean the self serving git sits as an independent MP rather than resigning & a by-election being called?

RafaistheKingofClay · 09/04/2024 19:04

I’m still hoping there’s going to be some sort of Parliamentary inquiry. If Hoyle is serious about MPs security there should be. And a subsequent suspension.

Unfortunately yes. He’ll hang on until Sunak eventually calls an election.

In new editions of dictionaires if you you look up useless it says "eg Sunak"

The police have started an investigation and the standard commission could do the same

Wonder if Sunak has noticed. He might not get to decide when the GE is at this rate.

For some reason I've previously missed Sunak's plan to appoint 150 new judges to fast-track appeals for prospective Rwanda deportees.

Yes, for Sunak, it's absolutely fine for victims of rape and serious assault to wait years for their attackers' cases to come to trial and there is no need to take any steps to fast-track those cases, but he will throw yet more money at diverting judges onto the ludicrous Rwanda scheme. And feminists claim they want to vote for Conservatives.

Fortunately I suspect he'll seriously struggle to find lawyers who actually want to give up their practices in order to facilitate him with operating a law which revolts against basic logic let alone morality. It could be fun if he appoints his 150 judges and they unanimously refuse to deport anyone.

Braverman is on LBC today

https://x.com/Haggis_UK/status/1777612419017093284

Nick Ferrari: You've no concern that some of the Israeli action could be illegal

Suella Braverman: I very strongly rebut suggestions that Israel is in breach of international law, that there's a genocide.. Israel is doing a tremendous amount to minimise civilian casualties

#LBC

Braverman once again demonstrating what a lousy lawyer she is. I guess she has to cling on to politics because her reputation in the law is totally shot.

I cannot express how angry that makes me. #GTFTO!!!

Sunak on LBC, taking calls. Only listened to a little as can't put myself through it. He is putting on a sort of accent, I am sure, so that he doesn't sound too posh.

Ferrari just pulled him up on some small boat figures and Sunak started to sound a bit shrill, like a sixth former caught out in debating society.

Alfreddoeblin · 10/04/2024 08:05

Me too @IClaudine. Presumed Ferrari would give him an easy ride but still can’t bring myself to listen to it !

"NEW: Rwanda’s state-owned airline RwandAir turned down a UK government proposal to transport asylum seekers to Kigali last year because it feared damaging its brand

RwandaAir don't seem to be the only ones who don't want to touch this for fear of damaging their brand. Sunak doesn't seem to have the same concern.
