UK Immigration minister Robert Jenrick resigns over Rwanda migrant bill - reports

In the last few minutes, reports say Robert Jenrick has resigned as immigration minister over the Rwanda migrant bill, as Labour accused the Government of 'total chaos'.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
It follows warnings by the former home secretary Suella Braverman that the Tories would face electoral oblivion if their emergency legislation failed to get deportation flights taking off - but the prime minister avoided the most hardline option, which would have meant disregarding international law.

More than a century ago Australia was the destination of UK-convicts, now Rwanda is playing a similar role. The Tories are stuck in the past.

[@tjmarx]

Funny you should mention Australia. 3rd country processing is often referred to as the Australian model. Not because of the convicts nonsense you're bringing up, but because Australia are the ones who designed this model. A model that is effective absolutely everywhere its deployed. It's been more than 10 years since Australia has had any real people smuggling by boat because of third country processing. In fact the advisors on the rwanda policy behind the scenes are all Australian ex-politicians who deployed the policy in Australia at the end of the 90s. None of the people being processed are convicts. Also worth noting that the UK dumped twice as many convicts in yankville as it did in Australia back in the day. Isn't it interesting that you never hear about that despite the same policies surrounding free immigration for non-convicts.

[@dedoc7143]

That's a strange irony. Considering the Tories have overseen the largest legal migration in this country's history.

[@everestyeti]

The only reason why the Rwanda policy was put in place, was because under Cameron and his buddy George to save money, they not only closed the facility to apply for visas at our overseas embassies, they closed them as well. From that point it meant that the only route for these people was to come in by another route. It was always going to be a failed policy, we could have re-opened what we had before and it would still have been cheaper than this utter fiasco.

[@josseton9435]

Really? The agreement is for 100 migrants a year. Hardly a deterrent. The truth is Tories increased immigration year on year. Brexit didn't help. It's all a gift. A gift to try to appeal to right wing voters. A £140 million grift.

[@Garfie489]

How about the judges? 90.1 percent of court judges in England and Wales were white, with 9.9 percent from Black, Asian, mixed, or other ethnic backgrounds. Skills and qualifications: "to be a citizen of the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or a Commonwealth country. to be below the age of 70, which is the statutory retirement age for all judges" So tell me about all these foreign judges of which you speak, or is it some bs you heard from a bloke in the pub?
