I see an editor from PoliticsJOE was on the show today. Not exactly a credible media outlet, may as well invite Lad Bible next week.

Probably the idea.

Make the left look ridiculous by inviting you tubers on to represent them.

I bet she doesn't dare invite Ash Sarker or Aaron Bastani from Novara. At least not without qualifying their introduction as presenters of a 'communist news organisation'.

After that grilling, Braverman is going to need to lie down in a dark room with a cold towel wrapped around her head. Savage…

I thought Kuenssberg gave her a much easier ride than she could have. The only slightly tricky bit for Braverman was the bit about refugees being shot in Rwanda. There was no challenge to Braverman’s ludicrous assertion that the high court had decided Rwanda was safe when all they’d done was ruled that the proposed law wasn’t illegal, and little comeback on her blatant politicisation of the Asian grooming gangs scandals, which all predated the Rwanda shootings that she wrote off as irrelevant because they were 5 years ago. Also no challenge on the assertion of illegality of asylum seekers using irregular means of arrival due to safe routes not being made available.

There was also a ridiculous amount of echoing. Braverman was asked if the situation at Dover would be ‘resolved’, she said it would be ‘eased’, not the same thing, and then Kuenssberg took up ‘eased’ as if that were ‘resolved’. She did the same with other replies. Braverman was also allowed to hide behind the ‘not going into details’ answer three times. A target of tens of thousands of migrants is now quarter of a million a year, yet no questions on where they would be housed and how the health service would cope with the increase.

They have no answers - they have no intention of sorting anything - they are just marking time milking the system for all they can and making sure they leave Labour the biggest mess they can when they inevitably lose the next GE

I agree that they’re just marking time, though it’s harder to decide whether they are wilfully seeking to worsen the situation for Labour or whether they are just hopelessly incompetent, perhaps a degree of both. Irrespective, there is just no money to do anything and Labour is going to be left trying to wrap dwindling stocks of plumbing tape around increasingly gushing pipes.

I think they would like to make it all worse and probably can't believe how easy they find it is to do but cannot comprehend it is their own incompetence doing the heavy lifting - they probably think its a special skill they have

Is she really arguing that an African country with higher population density than the UK can resettle refugees better than the 6th largest economy in the world?

Indeed. Before the Israeli scheme was suspended, most of those sent had fled. It is a poor country with insufficient resources to cater for its own people, much poorer than the U.K.

I envisage resettling as meaning the Rwandan government putting people onboard trucks in Kigali at night, driving them to Gisenyi, on the border of DRC, and waving them on their merry way.
 
Rwanda is rated as 'Not Free' by Freedom In The World 2023. It ranks among the lowest in international measurements of government transparency, civil liberties and quality of life. "While the regime has maintained stability and economic growth it has also suppressed political dissent through pervasive surveillance, intimidation, torture and renditions or suspected assassinations of exiled dissidents".

Other European countries are planning on sending refugees to Rwanda. Sweden was definitely one nentioned but I think they have suspended the plan.

Amusingly my great aunt was sent there by the British government in WW2.

She doesn't care either way, and doesn't care if we ever send refugees to Rwanda.

It's just an issue that is used to drive a wedge between the Tories and Labour. The Tories know they will always be tougher on immigration because they're a bunch of uncaring cunts, so having a failing asylum system works for them.

Trying to introduce a system that will be criticised by the UN, and get caught up in the courts - even better if it's the European courts - is the aim, so they can complain that they're not being allowed to fix things.
