It is nothing more than a threat to the factions within the Tory party. Even if the Lords accepted this new legal statement/law or whatever it is, it does not change the how the judges deemed Rwanda. There was nothing that said because the UK said Rwanda is not safe. It was stating Rwanda is fundamentally not a safe place to send refugees who are waiting to be processed. Having the UK parliament declare something other than it is will not change that fact.

He is basically giving them (the Tory crazy bunch) a head’s up. Look I will look like I am dealing with this. You can use this to appease your batshit crazy supporters. The alternative is an election.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
