Rwanda is safe but also bad enough to be used as a deterrent :toot:

On final act of racism to swing the voters!

You did it, Rishi. You won. You're the biggest and the coolest prime minister. I think you've earned a break, can we please have that election that was being walled behind this stupid policy now?

How do they pass a bill that has been shown by our courts and courts of other countries to be against international law? What the strawberry float.

The Tories always need an enemy to point at to explain their failures.

It used to be the EU. "We could do xxx but the bureaucrats in Brussels won't let us!".

Now we've left the EU, they need a new enemy, so this is all perfect for them to blame the ECHR for everything.

Ultimately the Tories don't actually care if migrants are sent to Rwanda or not. The whole point is to attract the racist vote plus the chance of blaming "foreign" courts for the cruel policy failing.

Because the bill itself has a clause to say the bill is legal. And because that's a point enshrined in the text it supercedes all facts, current or future. Rwanda could get swallowed by the void and it's still legally the safest possible place on earth for asylum seekers.

The European courts won't be happy, but that's the next target. Luckily I don't think there's enough time for that to get traction before the election. But it'll be bubbling in the background for the next 5 years.

The EU is planning on doing their own version of the Rwanda bill though not with Rwanda. Can't remember where they're dumping refugees

I don't think the EU has voted on anything like that yet. The right wing European parties are suggesting sending refugees to other countries while their asylum claims are processed. Which is a terrible idea but not the same as the UK's idea of permanently sending refugees to a dictatorship.

I don't think we're at the stage yet when we can say the EU is planning this. It's being pushed by one party but has a long way to go before it becomes actual policy

We've got the Tees Valley Combined Authority mayoral election coming up soon. The current mayer Ben Houchen is a Conservative and has overseen the grossly mismanaged and corrupt Teesworks project. Labour have already pledged to send in the National Audit Office at the General Election level.

The election guide only lists Labour, Tory and Lib Dem candidates.
Labour candidate is pledging to introduce free town centre parking and a £2 cap on bus and train fares and bringing buses under public control, whilst making public transport for under 18s free. Also some stuff about a "Guaranteed Skills and Employment Review" (whatever that means) for everyone at 16, 24 and 50.

Lib Dems are campaigning on a £25million investment in fighting Child poverty, alongside some more vague pledges surrounding bus fare caps, though no mention of public ownership or train fares.

I used to work in the area, the free parking was in place until very recently. Makes a massive difference as £2 minimum charge for parking in a genuinely grim seaside town is enough to make everyone park in the side streets or just park at Morrisona for 2 hours instead.

The council (currently about 8 million short) has also brought back parking charges for staff at council buildings, which amounts to a pay cut.

The Teesworks scandal is going to be huge when it eventually pops, the promise of all the money it was going to make was always an empty promise. Private Eye and News night has covered it a bit, but it's going to be very interesting when the truth comes out about the sale of the land and the lack of return on investment.
