Starmer calls Sunak’s Rwanda plan a ‘farce’ in PMQs clash
Mr Speaker the government has been forced to admit that it has lost contact with 85% of the 5,000 people earmarked for removal to Rwanda has he found them yet prime minister M Mr Speaker what I can tell the honorable gentleman is that in spite of him blocking every in spite
Of him blocking every single attempt that we have taken we have managed now because of our actions to reduce the number of people coming here by over a third last year this is the government that spent 400 million of taxpayers money on a Rwanda scheme yet can’t
Deport a single person of course this farce of a government could lose the people it was planning to remove but he didn’t answer the question so I’ll ask him again where are the 4,250 people that the government has lost where are they Mr Mr Speaker Mr Speaker as I said we’ve
Actually identified and removed over 20,000 people he hasn’t got a clue where they are has he I can tell I can tell you one place they are and that’s Rwanda because the only people who sent to Rwanda is cabinet ministers and for all the word the ridiculous thing is we know the Prime
Minister himself doesn’t even believe in this Rwanda gimi four eminent cases said this is undoubtedly the most robust legislation pass and a former Supreme Court justice has been clear that the bill would work but I know Mr Speaker he’s always been more interested in what Lefty lawyers have to say Mr
Speaker I’ve even got here I’ve even got here the textbook that he authored for them and it’s called and I quote European human rights law by Kier starma so prime minister prime minister when I stand up please sit down can I just say we don’t use props in this house such utterly pathetic
Nonsense he he’s been brutally exposed by his own MPS yet again Mr Mr Speaker Mr Speaker it is Rich to hear from The Honorable gentleman about belief in something because and it will be news to him it is actually the case that you can believe in something and stick to that
Position just this week Mr Speaker we had another example of The Honorable gentleman doing one thing saying another because it it this this week he backed the Home Secretary in Banning the terrorist group his but teria despite him personally using the European Court of human rights to try and stop them
Being banned and don’t take my word for it Mr Speaker the extremist own press release said and I quote the hisb but terer legal team led by KIA starma now I know I know he doesn’t like talking about them because they’ve been a client but when I see a group chanting
Jihad on our streets I ban them he invoices them Mr Speaker if he stuck to his position he’d be voting with us he’ be voting with us his former Home Secretary says the plan won’t work his current Home Secretary calls it batshit his former immigration Minister doesn’t
Back his plan even the Prime Minister himself doesn’t believe in it
The Labour leader said the government’s Rwanda scheme was a farce and that spending £400m on a removals plan that does not remove anyone was not a plan. Starmer repeatedly asked the prime minister: ‘Where are the 4,250 people [who were due to be moved to Rwanda] the government has lost?’ In response, the prime minister said the number of people arriving to the UK illegally has gone down by a third.
The clash over immigration came as MPs prepared to vote on amendments through the evening. In a vote on the previous night, 60 Conservative MPs opposed the government, in the biggest rebellion of Sunak’s premiership. Three people also resigned from party or government positions over the government’s immigration plans.

1:43 short trousers changes the subject, again
Meanwhile the Tory HO has given rwandans asylum in UK.
Only two percent people to clasify 98 percennt population as 2nd class people?
Why indian is PM of Britain
They’re all sitting in hotels around Britain 🤔
If PALESTINIANS had these kinds of laws before 1947 then they may lived in their homes without refugees occupation with the help of British colonials and america.
400 million pounds on Rwanda, but food shortages in the foodbanks homelessness up, robbery up, suicides up, child poverty up etc.
I've got better nodding dogs in my car. "Oh yes" and they talk more sense to the driver, not to Mr Speaker. I've seen and experienced a very nodding education in St Augstine school , Longview Drive, Huyton. One Swallow does not make a Summer. It does make a queue though
I may not like Starmer, but he’s much better than Sunak. Not hard to do, but I’m happy he’s at least doing that.
They have all prospered from deseas and war yet we blame thise who seek our shelter not in my name
What really makes it a farce is Rwanda acceptance 😅😅
And what do you expect of a third party prime minister 😅😅😅😅
He shouldn't have fired his home security earlier.
Our taxes wasted on every country but our own
The labour party should be ashamed of themselves as their behaviour like school children
Looking forward to skidmark Starmer’s 100,000+ EU migrants!
This chap is hopeless and not fit to govern this country.
A criminal waste of money in a attempt to get elected
Conservatives and Labour can not say anything productive about their own constituencies so they move get backed for who can make the other look a worse choice, its like asking voters would you rather die being hit by a train or a truck.
Also Torie's stop posting Thing's about Labour,Also Labour stop posting Thing's about Tories on Social Media,If their is that much of an issue for you both,Should sort out a better way,Posting things like that all over Social Media for the WIDE world to see is even more than very immature,Also very illegal as well,I got an issue with any one,I dont post things on Social Media about it and share it the WIDE World,Can get Facebook blocked of doing things like that
Get the tories out
I don’t trust either party… they are in reality one of the same. Nothing will change. I won’t vote for either. Andrew Bridgen is the one and only who stands up for the people.
Rawanda plan another sykes picot agreement in
The making stop destroying countries
same ways since Parliament began.
😂😂😂😂😂
Biggest farce going is Starmer 😅
I thought it's theater
If conservatives pull this off they will get re-elected. 🙏🏼🇬🇧
He'll soon be leading a farcical govern of his own. He's making noise to hide the fact that most policies will remain remarkably similar, but the optics will be different
Sunak the Drip, out of his depth.
Of the PM isn't going to answer any of the questions? What's the point in this mess?
Vote Reform everyone.
Starmer would be worse but he would still give israel arms
A vote for lib /lab tory or green is a vote for the WEF . These parties have no interest in the British people , only the rich globalists .
Starmer should state what he's going to do to solve the issue… instead of bashing rishi…. labour never say anything about policies???..
just call a GE
KEIR FOR PM ASAP
Sunak needs to be investigated and prosecuted.
This is from the man who has no idea how to deal with the boats a nodding dog sitting beside him clueless 😮
Sunak's father, of Indian origin, came as a refugee, and now the son is implementing the refugee deterrence law. This world is crazy
Don't be a hypercrit Labour, you will be no better than the Tories… two peas in a pod
