General British politics discussion thread

In any normal function of parliament, such a result would lead to the collapse of the government. They cannot achieve their stated promises, they are shown to be incompetent and while Sunak will carry the ultimate responsibility (and let's not forget he was in cabinet when this was signed off) it is across the entire Tory party that the responsibility lies.

It seems that the only solution they have ot to simply attempt to change the laws. They have learnt nothing from Brexit when they thought they could unilaterally do whatever they wished and everyone would simply accept it. The world doesn't work like that.

Ah Sunak. Stop the boats, stop the trains, stop the courts. What's next? Stop the votes?

They got money already for building structures/making preparations. So Rwanda didn't totally lose out and don't have to take in migrants.

Yeah unfortunately this government had a history of throwing money away on poor projects but that never usually leads to a collapse of government.

Well there’s lot of thing a monarch technically can do but they don’t.

We used think that about Parliament.

Now you have literal legislators screaming "ignore the laws".

It would certainly make Charles more than a minor footnote in history he is destined to be.

Not likely though, for sure.

Rwanda are the losers here

They have pocketed 140m quid for doing nothing.

Anyway the hilarity of the whole thing is it was this government in 2021 that declared Rwanda was neither safe or just.

The people living in the affected areas around Kent are fed up.

Any country in a similar position would be taking steps to stop these boats arriving 

Giving 140 million to Rwanda in exchange for nothing?

I think any sensible country maybe would have tested the legality of their plan before handing out free millions.

Yes it's of little concern to most people and of lees concern to those in Kent than the north of England. A mostly manufactured problem.

I presume Charles 111 doesn't want to become the latest Charles to lose his head, by intervening.

10 Shadow Cabinet ministers resigned in the end for calling for a ceasefire in Palestine. Only 125 MPs voted in favour which is pretty disgusting but unsurprising.

Jess Phillips probably the highest profile resignation.

This vote and this war will be long over and forgotten about by the time of an election.

It's already been taken off the top headlines this week.

In a mythical world of a police state or military junta perhaps.

In the real world of due legal process - some people/organisation will go to court 24 hours before the flight and make their case to a judge pointing out the potential illegality of the flight. If said case is strong enough in the judges opinion, or at a minimum requires further investigation then the judge will publish a court order forbidding the flight from taking off. And that will stop the flight.
