"Majority of 44

Ish…..

Maths time… 313 voted for….. total amount of Tory mps ..350

The far right of his party.. the ERG faction.. abstained.. according to Francois that is about 40 ish….

They have said if the bill is not hardened a lot, they will vote against at next reading

Basically if Tory MPs vote against rather than abstain they can afford to lose 29…..

So this is more “kick can down road”…. The problem is going to be that the more extreme the legislation is… it will gain votes on the right, lose the moderate Tory MPs

That is (almost) exactly what they do in the House of Commons. The Speaker says "All those in favour say Aye", and listens to the response. Then he says "Those against?", and waits for people to say "no". If it's obvious, he declares a winner. If the amount of noise is about the same, he calls for division and the MPs all have to shuffle through the lobbies and be counted.

Except the tellers had tallied the numbers prior to the ayes and nays. I guess that part is purely ritualistic.

I'm not sure where you get that idea. Maybe the news station you watch did some judicious editing. If a division is called, it usually takes about 20 minutes for all the MPs to shuffle through the lobbies and be counted. The results are then announced once the Speaker is re-seated. That's certainly what happened today.

Exactly… this is going to be where the amendments to the bill are going to be proposed and voted on… for example, making it so uk courts can’t intervene on decisions, making it so they can skirt potential human rights complaints ect ect

Remember that jenrick and braverman did go because of the policy itself… they went because they believe the policy and the bill don’t go far enough!

Interesting times, elected Goverment takes on judges. I fully get the checks and balances needed, but the judges seem to have lost touch with citizens of the UK and their views and wishes expressed through the goverment. First and foremost, UK judges should ensure laws and decisions are made to protect the citizens of the UK, and act as a deterrent to others, and not to protect illegal immigrants who have no legal reason to enter the UK.

The judges are supposed to be in touch with the law rather than public opinion.

Judges don't make the legislation. That's the governments job.

A world where judges don't bother with the law and go with what they percieve the average Daily Mail reader wants them to do, doesn't sound great to me.

Heck no. That is completely not the point of a Judge, nor should it ever be. That's a completely ludicrous idea and undermines the judiciary.

.

The Police protect the public, because that's their job.

The Armed Forces protect the country, because that's their job.

.

The Judges interpret the law and mete out punishment and the severity thereof, or dismiss where appropriate. They are not their to be "friends" nor "enemies" of the people. They are there to rule on a case presented to them in line with the powers invested in them, mindful of existing case law, and prior case law where a case is not clear.

.

Judges "losing touch" with the citizens of the UK is a massive, sweeping statement that the likes of the Daily Mail et al trundle out when something offends their readership. Never once will the paper go in to the nuances of the decision. Because that's too complicated for their readership who prefer binary choices and live binary lives, all in a non-binary world. (Hmmm...I think I have identified their problem). Instead, they'll just blame the bête noire of the day, so the morning cornflake-splutterers have something to shake their fists at, and then feel better about themselves.

.

Just because a judge rules something I may not personally agree with doesn't mean the judge it wrong. Or they are my enemy. It means I didn't get my arse down to the court, sit in the trial, listen to all the evidence, and then make a decision. I did not Educate Myself. The Judge however, most certainly did, and ruled accordingly on it. My "opinion", or indeed the "papers" is just that. An opinion.

Don't like the way the judge rules ? Then change their sentencing guidelines and/or get a better lawyer who can present the case more convincingly with your desired outcome in mind.

Agree with this. We see far too much legislation blocked by judges on obscure points of law. They are unelected, and paid to administer justice on behalf of citizens. Their dabbling usually just makes things worse as we see with the Bibby Stockholm and Rwanda fiascos.

I watched live on BBC Parliament from around 19:15. When I tuned in, MPs were already out. When they re-entered, the 4 tellers took formation and read out the ayes and nos. As soon as that was done, the speaker confirmed and then MPs went out again to vote on timetable, same happened when they returned.

What we have here is the government pinning its colours to a morally dubious policy of sending migrants to Rwanda in the vague hope it will act as a deterrent.

The fact that they were previously defeated by the Supreme Court mans that in desperation they are now saying we don’t like your legal rulings on this so we are now make it legally binding that you must ignore international law and conventions and accept our view that Rwanda is a “safe country”

That’s the equivalent of legislating to say that now Cats are Dogs.

This is exactly the pattern of behaviour that authoritarian regimes adopt.

This bill even if it passes the House of Lords and the 3rd reading will not actually act as a deterrent as it fails to tackle the real problem of human trafficking by criminal gangs.

It is really a poor reflection on our society and attitudes that we treat migrants with such hostility. Who have often given up everything to travel here, often coerced by the human smugglers to undertake the perilous channel crossing as part of their business model.

More compassion is actually what is required not hostile attitude.

The obsession with this and the obscene amount of tax payer money that has been spent on this flawed policy would have been better served tackling the smuggling gangs and education programs in the migrant home countries to counter the smuggling gangs propaganda.

"Just the government wasting taxpayers money again , "

Aside of legal and humanitarian issues

Rwanda has capacity 500

On a 1 for 1 reciprocal scheme, we send one, they return one. No bottom line difference.

For which UK pays. Rwanda pays zero

Cost for first 200 deportees

125 million…

290 million….

400 million…..

Home office has 215,500 unprocessed asylum cases (138k at first stage, 5.1k appeal, 41.2K return)

500 deportees to Rwanda maximum, 99.75% stay. To claim the scheme is a deterrent is laughable

That 500 is 0.25% of current cases

Add £22million on Bibby legionella prison barge

Funeral costs and inquiry for yesterdays reported suicide

£10m a day accommodation

Home office staff, lawyers, appeals, courts, supreme courts, barristers, more parliament bills, challenges and costs

Must be a billion at least by now, we will all have to cough up more taxes

If the cost commitment by 2026 of the Rwanda scheme as james cleverly stated is £400,000,000 that is £2,000,000 a head

The average working person in uk earns £1,000,000 in their lifetime

It would be cheaper for the taxpayer, for all immigrants to be allowed to stay, on benefits, build them a house, and save £1,000,000 a head over a lifetime. The house is an investment for future generations

We cannot send 215,500 to Rwanda, but if that was possible it would cost over £430 billion based on these government provided/leaked figures.

The current years nhs budget is £168.8 bn

KC briefing notes says 500 a year capacity - he says max of 5% that arrive will go, if any

He says cost to date 290M with commited costs to 2026 (same as cleverly) 400m

That is for the first 200 deportees, if any go there, that’s £2m a head

All of this is a moving target. The info at best unreliable. Another Tory policy turd. See it when it happens.

"KC briefing notes says 500 a year capacity"

Oh, so now it's 500 per year, not 500 in total.

Who is KC?


"he says max of 5% that arrive will go"

But at the current rate there will be 30,000 crossings this year, so 5% will be 1,500 people. Are you sure your source can do maths?


"He says cost to date 290M with commited costs to 2026 (same as cleverly) 400m"

Oh, so the £400m covers the next 3 years. That's 1,500 people at 500 per year, or 4,500 at 5% per year. That gives slightly more reasonable figures of £266,000 per head, or £88,000 per head.


"That is for the first 200 deportees, if any go there, that’s £2m a head"

Why are you limiting it to the first 200, when your own figures say that the plan allows for lots more?

None of the figures are mine.

If Rwanda can take 500 a year, and there are 215,500 on the home office system, that’s 431 years to deport all these people

Add another 30k a year, best get an actuary to calculate this, and the costings.

On the costings for 200 people, In the last few months the governments figure has trebled £125400M

And to add if the crossings are 30k a year, that will add sixty years (at 500 a year to Rwanda) to deport each additional year

Added to the 431 years to clear the current asylum cases.

Over ten years crossings at 30k, that’s 600 years, added to 431 years to clear the current cases

We’re are now at 3023

This is an unsolvable problem.

It certainly seems a task beyond the capabilities of our government to get this mess sorted out. Turning back the clock, some rudimentary co-operation between the UK and France would have nipped this in the bud. So much for being in the EU with our valued 'partners'.

"https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Counsel"

So these are barristers' notes of some sort. Where are you getting them from?


"None of the figures are mine."

But they are figures that you are using to criticise the Rwanda scheme, so it's down to you to explain why the maths doesn't work, or just to accept that they're wrong.


"If Rwanda can take 500 a year, and there are 215,500 on the home office system, that’s 431 years to deport all these people"

The Rwanda scheme only applies to those arriving in the UK after the date of the legislation. Those people already on the list aren't subject to it.

Plus, the Rwanda scheme only applies to those that have arrived irregularly, not to all asylum seekers.


"On the costings for 200 people, In the last few months the governments figure has trebled £125400M"

Let's assume that you're right about the cost, why do you keep referring to 200 people, when your own figures say that it will be lots more?

Sure you can provide the stats but hasn’t it got worse since the referendum and even worse since we actually left the EU?

Well it certainly hasn't delivered the promised border controls, fair enough. Not yet at least. But aside from that, a basic policy of bilateral co-operation between UK and France would have avoided the dinghy crisis completely.

Another Brexit gift then

Bravermans plans (guardian 25may2023) suggested 3163 would be deported every month from January 2024.

what may this basic policy look like? I can't imagine anything we like, being something France likes.

My point was that when we were in the EU the situation was better. You said “partners” and I am pointing out that the UK decided we didn’t want to be “partners in the EU”

“Members of our club work well together”

“I don’t want to be in the club”

“Ok that’s a shame bye”

“Why aren’t you working well with me”

“You left the club!”

How do you know the small boat problem would have been avoided.

When the UK was in the EU illegal migrants cam hear hiding in the back of lorries etc. You can't stop a dream..

You can however re educate the people wanting to get hear and showing its nolonger the land of gold and honey.

I guess you could have tried again but as a person living in a rich society the cost did not out weight the benifit.

Did you not try a holiday to the baharmars and then get a boat.

If its still the dream!
