It just shows the absolute $hitshow that is the Rwanda plan, for whatever legal reason the government of the day, with it's massive majority, does not have the wit to legislate a way to justify it's massive publicly funded experiment. Blaming "foreign courts" is a smokescreen to their ineptitude.

So we've given Rwanda 100's of millions for fack all and now want to give each refugee £3,000. Added to.billions lost to dodgy PPE contracts, billions lost to HS2 etc etc.

How can the government then legitimately make the argument we cajy afford to give Junior Doctors etc a pay rise.

Their internal squabbles, the civil war between the hard right and centrists has taken priority over competant governance and seen 2nd rate politicians elevated to positions theyre unsuitable for (Truss, Braverman, Kwarteng, Sunak et al) just to appease one faction or the other. Party over country ever time, gimmick after unworkable gimmick and the tax payer foots the bill.

Ironically, when in the EU we could send asylum seekers back to the first EU country they registered with of they failed their application here and we couldn't send them to their home country. We have no such agreement now because of Brexit. So the idiot Brexiters have made this situation worse.

As expected we’re getting a rematch in the American elections this year

That’s if Trump isn’t doing bird by that point

Never really bothered about who is chosen as a VP before, but old Joe and stinky Donald might not last the course sooo...

Jon Kay: If Frank Hester, today, offered to give the Tory Party another £10m... would you take it?

Kevin Hollinrake: "Yes."

There is nothing stopping him being President if he is in prison.

State of them
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On Wednesday morning, a government minister suggested the party would not return the money.

Asked on Sky News whether the Tories should give back Hester’s money, Post Office minister Kevin Hollinrake said: “I don’t think that is the right thing to do …

“I think his comments were clearly racist and wrong, there is no question about that. You don’t judge somebody’s character based on their skin colour.

“He has apologised for that. I don’t think that means Frank Hester is necessarily a racist.”

Asked whether he would be comfortable spending Hester’s donations, Hollinrake said: “On the basis he is not a racist, has apologised for what he said, yes.”

So he's made a racist comment, not for the first time, but the Post Office minister, has hr not got better things yo do, reckons that doesn't make him a racist. This is the mental chicanery that's the norm nowadays.

Turns out Angela Rayner's "Tory scvm" comment was unsurprisingly accurate.

I don't think either of Trump or Biden will last the entirety of the next term of office. They will either have to step down due to health or snuff it.

What a failed state that is if that’s allowed

Surely none of you actually think Donald Trump is going to prison?

Given his record with court cases the last few months I genuinely do

If he's proven to have broken laws that have prison as an option for punishment, why not? Surely you don't believe he has immunity?

As it goes, IF he is found guilty of a jailable offence and receives that sentence AND is not elected President, I believe he'd be pardoned, like Nixon was.

Not literal immunity but as long as there’s an option other than jail, that is what would be given if found guilty.

It’s different to Nixon and I cannot see a modern Democrat President pardoning Donald Trump either. Can you imagine the scenes from the blue hair brigade in California if a Democrat president pardoned Donald Trump?!

Aye, Biden despises Trump why would he pardon him

There is more political capital to be gained by presidential clemency.

A big problem with America really is that the constitution was written on the basis that no President would break unwritten rules and be a c@nt

The other issue is that a document written 250 years ago is still held up as an all knowing document that can rarely if ever be changed.

So a Tory donor is ousted as being a racist and this bloke says it’s the Left that are weaponising it
