I'm happy to see this. It's the ludicrous detachment from reality which is driving people further away from them. Tories trying to chase the conspiracy theory vote is always fine with me

I saw that. And the 14 who retain their seats, I've not heard of or barely heard of. The entire cabinet wiped out.. And this ignores that people are likely to vote tactically to make it even worse for the tories. This like porn basically

Ouch indeed. A 30 point lead is a vindication to me of Starmer's attempt to draw a broad coalition and govern from the centre

Anyone seen any reports that the person they bribed to go to Rwanda intended to go there anyway? A mate mentioned it, but can't corroborate

It's quite lucky the tories got him to agree to this in the week before an election. And great to see that the massive deterrent of receiving a bribe will prevent many others from making that perilous journey

And have it replaced with therapy and other treatment. Err hang on. What you mean the treatment that has been decimated under tory Britain? We're using access to the medical services as an alternative to welfare now? Jeez

It’s possible you’re right here. But knows the outcome of and election is 99% “he won’t be PM any more” The outcome of 50 letters going in and a cote of no confidence going in, is far less certain. Could that party coalesce around an alternative in time? Someone acceptable to the members and...

My experience is that the 20 mph limits in Brighton, has forced average speeds down on these roads from about 33mph to about 26mph. This makes it worth doing in my eyes

I wouldn't bet too much money that Rwanda won't just pull out of the whole scheme. Which will teach us a valuable and incredibly expensive lesson, that Africa isn't our dustbin

I agree with you. I class the idea of an elected upper chamber in the same way as VAR or Kim Kardashian. Superficially attractive, but when you think a little harder about what the idea would entail obvious problems soon become apparent.. I also don't mind it being archaic. I don't...

A very good friend!

Well yes. The only reason why there's even a semblance of party discipline sometimes is most tory MP's can be easily blackmailed by party officials who know where the bodies are buried

Amusing. But probably a bad development. They will be able to claim, with some justification, that their right to peacefully state their views has been frustrated by an executive power because it disagrees with them. Although Farage and their like shouldn't have their voices artificially...

At least when the waters recede the crystal clear waters won't have polluted their land

I'm still not sure 16% would translate into any seats with our voting system. And that's assuming they don't pull out. Which by the way, is what Richard Tice's dad should have done.

They really are taking the piss now

I suppose the upside, as Rees Mogg helpfully revealed, is that the tory plan was as bungled as it was malign. Lot's of elderly don't have passports or driving licence. And swathes of wealthy elderly who still plan to vote tory have no need for a bus pass and are largely outside London. Their...

A great idea. And the leader of the opposition has to ask the question, not launch into a mini speech. PMQ's should be about holding the government and PM to account

The positive here is that I don't think the public are falling for it. The Rwanda policy is wildly unpopular. The Tories are 21 points behind in the polls. People are rejecting their crude racism. There is a cheerleading mob in the tabloid press and tabloid TV plus a few inconsequential but...

I've recently lost a family member to suicide. I'm raging that a government minister would be using mental health seemingly for some sort of wedge issue.
