Yvette Cooper uses facts, not deflection, to get her points across. She is straight talking and gets to the point making it clear that the tories are still trying to be underhanded with this so-called deal. She still talks about the massive tory made backlog of asylum seekers - something that is costing this country (we tax payers) millions of pounds every day yet the tories have seemingly forgotten this ongoing and increasing catastrophe. Yvette Cooper would make a great leader, IMO.

[@malthusXIII-fo3ep]

But she failed to stop Blair when he flung open the floodgates in 1997,...we'll get ships direct from Africa with insane Labour.

[@darthwiizius]

Oh shit! You've starting noting that that the Tories have been raping our national wealth since 1972 is a problem. Well, woopy doo, it's about time. The Tories shifted from the party of paedophilia (Ted Heath) to the party of Enoch Powell.

[@tomtheeagle1]

But she still doesn't attack this policy on moral grounds or pointing out the policy's inhumanity. This is a policy that shames us all.

[@jondexter1407]

@@tomtheeagle1yup if it wasn’t so expensive she’d probably support it. She rarely talks about the need for safe routes or the fact these asylum seekers are human beings. Labour try to out racist the Tories sometimes which is sad to see

She is much better in a supporting role. We do not have an American system. The PM does not make all the decisions, it's a party rule. I like the fact that Starmer has a good team around him, directly supporting him. As the face of the party he is just fine.

[@JB-xd9dr]

@@MsMoople absolutely agree. Many PMs were just not true leadership material, but were outstanding ministers. Finding the blend in any leadership is the true skill of a good leader. They themselves don’t have to be the most incredible at all skills.

Sadly since 2016 the U.K government has failed to understand or make provision for U.K waters protection . With the cuts to frontline services , including defence . The U.K will have to reevaluate its armed services as separate , and combine into one service . The army so decimated in numerical terms , the airforce lacking sufficient pilots and the navy not having enough coastal patrol vessels up to date. One top of the shambes created by Tory obstruction to housing and minimal efforts to implement anything but this Hotel Rawanda scheme , £140m plus for 100 people? Beggers belief! If the Tories get back into office , apply me down for £1.4m and will happily leave this madhouse.
