How many answers to polling questions these days are, no matter the question, just an opportunity for the respondent to say to the Govt ‘just call a bloody election already’ ?
The sense I get is that the public really is desperate for this Govt to be over and done with and use every chance they get to send that message but maybe that’s just me seeing what I want to see
If people are already willing to risk a horrible death in a small boat crossing the channel, I fail to see how the very, very small probability of ending up on a plane to Rwanda will act as a deterrent. This idea of it being an efficient deterrent has not fully been interrogated.
If the possibility of being sent to Rwanda is supposed to deter people from crossing the Channel in small boats (and should we not applaud the spirit of Dunkirk?), how can that country also be presented as safe, welcoming and full of opportunity? Refugees are used to lies.
Failed. It was a non starter from Day1. Supreme Court back to Commons back to SC etc. Meanwhile organised crime make obscene amounts money and human beings are treated like chattel.

FEWER boats! (sorry I can't help it, and I know Oliver Kamm doesn't share my pedantry on this, but these things upset me :-)
