HIGHLIGHTS: Keir Starmer rinses Rishi Sunak for shoddy Rwanda plan at PMQs

The government's reheated Rwanda plan gets more and more pathetic as time goes by. Keir Starmer lets us all know that the new scheme only allows a maximum 100 people to go, and for some refugees to be sent to the UK. #pmqs

You have to understand your current government Parliament was designed for Victorian Britain in the 18th century were an MP was seen as a part-time job and they dealt with a teeny tiny budgets that really did not affect a whole lot of people thorough out the Kingdoms. Back then a lot of decision making was done a local level by the Mayors.

Something that actually really angers me with Sunak (and Johnson before him) are the smear attacks on Starmer's character, when the claim is made that he's on the side of people smugglers.

Because Stammer fought for human rights, he ensured that illegal immigrants get benefits as soon as they enter the country, not as the then Labour Government wanted, when they get asylum. This is why we have so many people crossing the waters. They are guaranteed benefits as soon as they enter the country. Thanks Kier.

Why does Rishi hate foreigners so much? Enough to bend international human rights laws. Getting scarily close to fascism.

All that wasted money could have been used to hire & train more staff to process claims as well as give the current staff a decent pay rise.

The deputy speaker is dreadful.

[@gomezthechimp1116]

She should certainly have stepped in to remind Sunak that he's not the one asking the questions.

The speaker is not much better 😅 both speaker and deputy are poor beyond belief !

Poor Rish! . Flailing away at the wrong way of doing things and blowing away money. I think now all he has is smoke and mirrors left.

This change for family visas is awful. My partner is a foreign national. I have a business in the UK and was born and raised in the UK. I do okay, but I don't hit the new financial target. So... i will likely move my business and myself out of the country. Ridiculous.

[@belindablunderbus1365]

Instead of answering a question Sunak just attacks a different point. He's not very good at this is he.

[@horaciotorruco]

We need a labour government now!!!

It’s like watching a group of unruly children trying to play “who can crack the best joke or give the best insult”. It’s no wonder the UK is fcuked when the politicians act the way they do, try actually discussing politics for a change 🤦‍♂️

[@stevej72]

It's all a pantomime, to deflect from the real issues while their mates fill their pockets and within 5 years of leaving power be off living abroad somewhere, while the uk is being laughed at by the rest of the world.

[@weemanling]

This is just PMQ, a chance to play to the cameras. If you've ever watched any actual live politic discussion, you'll realise just how different this little snippet is to the standard day of business.

I don’t think the PM realises just how many people want to rejoin the European Union because he seems to think that everybody in Britain. Is it okay with this absolute shit show that is post Brexit Britain

None of these clowns have an affective plan for this issue and yet they have the audacity to behave like it's a joke with their behaviour during pmqs.. it's a disgrace

If they really wanted to stop the boats then it might be useful not to support the forceful displacement of 2million people in Palastine, many of whom can speak English and have family here.

Immigration is higher under conservative than labour ever reached. In fact it massively went up just after Tories regained their power.😂
