    It won’t matter because it’s not going to leave the House Of Lords. It’s an illegal piece of legislation there would be serious questions about what the point of the Lords are, if they actually allowed it to pass.

    Parliament know this, all of this is just a performance piece to try and win back some of their disillusioned voters who have gone over to Reform UK

      Parliament also refuse to answer questions the Lords’ questions about Article 16.1 of the Rwanda deal (now Article 19 under the latest rewrite):

      Article 19: Resettlement of vulnerable refugees

      The Parties shall make arrangements for the United Kingdom to resettle a portion of Rwanda’s most vulnerable refugees in the United Kingdom, recognising both Parties’ commitment towards providing better international protection for refugees.

      It’s a two-way deal, always has been. Just how many “vulnerable refugees” are the UK accepting in return? It could be 1 for 1, or even more, for all anyone knows.
