Did anyone vote for this? Even B4 Covid, the poorest 10% of UK households paid 47.6% of their income in direct and indirect taxes, compared to 33.5% by the richest 10%. Govt response - hike NI, income tax and council tax and push the poor into destitution.

I’ve written to the Speaker to ask that he facilitate a process whereby MPs can hold PM & Chancellor to account for misleading parliament over #partygate. Knowingly to lie to parliament & public & to do so with impunity undermines our democracy - there must be consequences

The vile Rwanda plan is what happens when the test of a policy becomes "how will it polarise the electorate?" "how will it "play" in the polls?" & "what dividing lines will it set up for an election?" - not "how will it work?" or "what will it mean for the human beings affected?"

Caroline Nokes: ‘I’ve not withdrawn the letter of no confidence in Johnson that I wrote months ago to Sir Graham Brady, the chair of the 1922 Committee, because to do so would be letting down all those people who spent the pandemic doing the right thing.’

Nope, they want Rwanda to take them off their hands whilst still actively warning British citizens that travelling there is potentially dangerous…
Quote Tweet
Lots of Tory MPs (some apparently “Christian” 🤔) saying Rwanda is perfectly safe… can someone ask them to take a look at their own governmental travel advice? Here’s some highlights: #GTTO #JohnsonOut82 #ToryLiars #Rwanda #Christian #PritiPatel #homeoffice #civilservants

I don’t think everyone has realised this. Most still thinking they just go to Rwanda for processing until a decision is made.
Quote Tweet
'I have to say, I'm really, really, shocked by this.' This is the moment @IainDale realises the UK's policy of exporting asylum seekers to Rwanda means those asylum seekers will remain in Rwanda after being processed.
