Time will tell if there a difference, I’m saying won’t be a difference
It’ll be the same old story ‘they left us skint’ … ‘we can’t do this now, there’s no money’ …. ‘that last lot didn’t tell the truth’ .. heard it all before, there will be no difference. One thing for certain, they’ll all get richer.
 
i find it utterly astounding that anyone can think Raynor is fit for office. Truly frightening.

I think, inadvertently, you just proved my point.

Though I’m not sure how you’re measuring fitness for office beyond “their opinion differs from mine”.

If we apply the standard of “follow the law” as a bare minimum to be fit for office (which seems reasonable), then Rees-Mogg is somebody who the Supreme Court judged had unlawfully misled the Queen about the prorogation of Parliament. So not sure why he would escape a mention in that particular conversation.

Why not if nothing else a party wanting to work with the EU, a oarty not ignoring international law and yhe courts, a part that at least believes inimproving NHS and efuccation. Besides which there are more than 2 parties standing

Heaven forbid we'd have someone involved in government who's shown the spirit, the nouse and the discipline to get her life on track and make something of herself after a less than auspicious start.

Much better to be governed by spineless, entitled, criminal, narcissistic twats who've got better accents.
 
As I’ve said previously on this topic… There is currently a greater chance of asylum applicants drowning in the Channel than being sent to Rwanda.

Now as poor as Rwanda’s human rights record might be, I suspect death may be a stronger deterrent.

So it begs the question, if a small chance of death doesn’t stop them coming, why do Tories think a small chance of being sent to Rwanda will?
They don't think it will deter migrants.
They think such a policy will win them votes from the xenophobic/racist elements in society that might otherwise be tempted to vote Reform/UKIP etc.
