Excl: Preparations for a second Rwanda flight have been put on hold until after the Conservative Party has elected a new prime minister, officials say.

Separately, the High Court have delayed the judicial review hearing until September:

ECHR and British judges have facked this government over good and proper.

This.

Beyond the shiiiit that some of the detainees have and really don’t deserve to go through, another real shame is the huge waste of taxpayers’ money.

The government is formed from the Tories. They didn't resign from the Tory party. So if anything it will cause them to unite. The better play would have been to let the Tories tear themselves apart and keep well out of it.

It's election campaign fodder.

Public trust in the Boris administration is minute, every labour campaign at the next election will be able to point at this vote to cite poor judgement.

It all counts

The Tories won't unite after this. They will continue to go after each other in the leadership contest.

Im sure most Tories will ad the Met and Durham Police to that list.

Whilst the rest of us realise they just exist to uphold the law of the land.

Given the Left usually can’t get enough of diversity and representation, you might think they would be all over this like a rash.

What could be more symbolic of British openness and how far we’ve come in this country than not one, not two, but SIX potential ethnic minority PMs?

How refreshing, how welcome, how exciting to reach such an incredible milestone in the long history of our island nation.

But we’ve heard nothing of the sort.

Instead, what we’ve had is a collective Freudian slip on the part of lefty, Tory-hating minions, who have revealed themselves to be the true bigots, picking on and ridiculing these candidates like playground bullies.

As the ethnic minority candidates announced their bids, this lefty mob came out in full force.

“Do you think the members of your party are ready to select a brown man, Rishi?” asked barrister Jolyon Maugham, who found infamy after clubbing a fox to death while wearing a kimono.

]“Can you imagine a black or Asian person leading the Conservative Party? Others argue that the very concept is diametrically opposed to the party’s core values,” pondered the so-called Race Correspondent for The Independent newspaper, Nadine White (who ironically, is black).

Of course, by “others”, White means herself, since I’ve never heard a single other person argue such an imbecilic, politically illiterate position.

Then you have the likes of Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, the hysterical, one-woman Britain-bashing machine, who says the ethnic minority Tories running are a “gift for white supremacists”.

What deranged logic.

These naysayers can’t stomach the fact that we have such a racially diverse pool of candidates for one reason: It shatters their warped narrative.

The narrative that Britain is a racist cesspit and the Conservatives are the big, bad wolf that comes to eat your black grandmother, as the innocent Left in their little red hoods stand by horrified and helpless.

The reality is they can’t get over the fact it is the ethnic minority Conservatives and not those in the Labour Party who are doing so well.

They only want diversity and representation if it’s on THEIR terms.

They’re embarrassed that the Labour Party has only ever produced ONE ethnic minority Secretary of State.

The Conservatives have had three times as many. (Not to mention they can’t manage to elect a female leader, for goodness’ sake.)

They are humiliated that this Tory Government have had the most ethnically diverse Cabinet in our history.

They’re ashamed that the party they spend every waking hour smearing as racists have managed to nurture so much ethnic minority talent without the virtue-signalling fanfare of empty “diversity and inclusion” platitudes.

I want the best person for the job to win, white, black or brown.

But I have to say, the look on lefty faces if a Tory becomes the first African or Asian Prime Minister in our history is going to be utterly priceless

To be fair that Jolyon guy is a right pr!ck in general, should of been binned a long time ago

So Oscar wants us to judge candidates on their race and not on their merits?

Insinuating the entirety of the left think the Tory party is racist is daft.

I don't think they're racist, but I do think it's particularly ironic the likes of Javid, Zahawi and Patel talk about how proud they are of their backgrounds whilst at the same time voting for policies that limit others having the same opportunities.

It's the standard deflection approach. Oscar doesn't see the irony in the fact he spends time getting upset that some races are 'over-represented' in modern culture and now celebrating diverse candidates in a leadership election.

He just wants to 'get one over the libs'. So he will use any extreme example he can find to generalise anyone who disagrees with his world view.

If she makes the final 2 then I agree... have a feeling Truss may pip her

Sunak is favourite.

I think that would be playing into Labour hands. He's so deeply embroiled in all of the scandal and decision making that he's a sitting duck if he wins.

Opinium @OpiniumResearch
Rishi Sunak is currently the Conservative members’ preferred option to succeed Boris Johnson, according to the latest Opinium & @Channel4News.

He would currently beat Liz Truss or Penny Mordaunt in the final members ballot, although over a fifth have yet to make their mind up.

Divided opinions amongst Leave-voting members could hand Rishi Sunak the Conservative leadership.

Leave-voting members would narrowly split for Liz Truss in the final ballot, while Rishi Sunak has a clear lead amongst Remain-voting members.


Imagine how hardcore Brexity Truss has gone that Rishi is the favoured candidate amongst the remoaners.

The fact there’s a lot of don’t knows shows just how poverty this leadership is though. There’s never been an absolute waaaank Conservative party like this one.

How long do you think before Boris accuses Labour of playing politics when they table the VONC?

All while the Tory party are embroiled in playing politics to find a new leader, after ousting their current one.

British war crimes in Afghanistan

Maybe there should be an international boycott of the UK, including sporting boycott ?

What is the point in a consultation (that also cost money and time) if more people say against than for, but they still go for it anyway
