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

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. Before entering Politics, Starmer fought for people's human rights, and arguably did far more to protect actually vulnerable people than the vast majority of politicians on both sides of the aisle.

And he doesn't do the same. Starmer is an absolute moron. Easy to criticize everything. But he hasn't got a plan, apart from tax the workers and give handouts to those that don't want to work typical labor

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.

PM doesn't answer any questions. Great democracy 👏

[@Paul-eb4jp]

Come on Madam Deputy Speaker make him answer a question!

[@rosmeartoo]

Penny Mordant's expression summed up Sunak's performance, complete clap-trap.

[@Donbenjamin180]

Many wealthy individuals maintain their wealth by adopting frugal spending habits similar to those of the less affluent. They also prioritize continuous investment, whereas some poorer individuals tend to spend extravagantly without focusing on long-term investments, often attempting to impress those who are already wealthy.

Here we have a colony of Comment Bots in their natural habitat. They're on the prowl for Humans, but sustenance is scarce in the harsh deserts of the Internet.

[@patriciahiggins9188]

What!?

[@tbatallen]

Rising inequality has been caused by policies designed to enrich few at the expense of the many. From the early 80s economic gains we’ve been making as a society have been increasingly focused on enriching a small %, before then gains were shared more broadly across society. Hard working families in the U.K. are thousands of pounds poorer than they should be because of the greed of the few. Wealth and power accumulation are self-perpetuating, and are addressed only by paying workers better, taxing the richest to pay for better services for all to tackle inequality.

i invested my welfare payment and now im a ceo in a mickey mouse investment company a meteoric rise to the top look out Trumpy

[@just-a-working-male]

Sunak was too busy flicking though his notes to pay attention

[@DW-indeed]

Sunak: Blah blah blah blah, "zinger!" Starmer: Here, take your ass. Rinse, repeat.

[@acmdv]

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.

[@nimzgaz7049]

I don't even know what Labour stands for anymore. Defo not the British people

[@johndoyle9092]

That's says everything about Sunak I lost the thread of this question. He's lost the thread of of being a prime minister

[@Lynn.hot.legs.peters]

Sunak dose know he's in Power ?

[@jesush.tap-dancingchrist7328]

Mme Deputy Speaker isn't great at her job. Boothroyd was better. Even Bercow was better.

[@xTerminatorAndy]

ORDERAAAAAAAAAAAAAh lol

[@max11111able]

call a general election immediately.

[@rupertstratton7890]

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

[@leoportsmouth5138]

Prime Minister its a joke . No shame , go , general elections now

[@alanfrith-on5dp]

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.

[@crayontom9687]

‘We’re thinking of their beloved family members at this time of loss’. Now here’s some slapstick comedy in tribute. Great stuff

[@condal32]

They’re all laughing at you rish!

[@kbspark]

You could almost feel sorry for Little Rishi here Almost .......... Nevermind, I'm sure the jokers at the Daily Heil will fantasise that "Sunak held his ground " or some garbage

[@horaciotorruco]

We need a labour government now!!!

[@Stephen0988]

1.3 Million less 300,000, well that's a lot of houses and NHS treatments.

[@iandhr1]

Starmer seems to have new people around him. He seems to be getting better jabs in at Sunak.

[@SalikRafiq]

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.

[@marcuscosgrove9431]

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.

[@afc358]

The obsessive hatred of immigrants by second-generation Tory immigrants is mind blowing.

[@pswestport]

Getting on and delivering 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thomaswatson3774]

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

[@davidt9339]

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

[@cramster3495]

I can hear Jim Royle very clearly: "Effective deterrent, my arse"

[@xTerminatorAndy]

that bignose Sunak keeps saying "mister speaker" he doesn't have one iota of respect

[@paulstone3209]

Third choice PM running our great country into the ground

[@richardtuxford1812]

Yeh but Liz fcking Truss was this mobs second choice, and Boris bloody Johnson was first.

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

At the 5-minute and 50-second mark of the video, Rishi Sunak stated his intention to reduce legal migration levels (not illegal). I am uncertain whether this was a slip of the tongue or if he has some covert, unpleasant plans underway. Was it a fraudulent slip?

[@gomezthechimp1116]

They've already stated their policy to do just that: Increase minimum skilled migrants income that they need to earn to work in the UK to 38,000, and stop dependents coming over with migrants.

[@David-kk5fx]

​@@gomezthechimp1116 That puts the final nail in the coffin of the NHS. The NHS relied on overseas workers to stop it from collapsing.

[@charlesyang1292]

😅it's fun to watch British house debate

[@jayramesh4663]

Excellency ladies and gentlemen May God blessed 🙏🙏🙏 👏

[@geraldaird9390]

What will happen at the ECtHR if the Supreme court agrees that the Tories stupid plan to swap migrants with Rwandan migrants, also what will the EU and the USA do if Britain leaves the Council of Europe and destroy the GFA?

[@TheMatchReview]

US pressure would be such that they wouldn't dare leave the GFA. US is the guarantor of the agreement.

[@BigSteveEpisode2]

Rishi Sunak doesn't actually answer any questions in this video, just dances around them like he always has. At least BoJo and May answered questions from Corbyn + Starmer

[@BeakersAreCool]

No they never

[@Matt-yb1mz]

Legally binding! 😂😂😂😂

[@benwilson6145]

I wonder if the Rwanda Plan is an update of Private Eye Ugandan Affairs!
