The House of Lords is packed out now by Tories and always has been (there are 275 Conservative Party Tory Lords with only 171for the Labour Party). In the 14 years of Tory failure they enobled numerous more of their friends increasing the gap but weirdly we heard nothing from Cleverly about the inherent unfairness and undemocratic nature of having a second chamber full of Boris's and his shifty mates.

[@sparrow_6177]

The ECHR will not let it go ahead, this is why he called the election BEFORE the first flight was due to take off. If he were then to get back in, it would give him chance to backtrack on these flights. Had he tried to send them earlier, he would fail, hence definitely lose the GE. He is clutching at straws and lying, just like they all do. The whole Rwanda idea was to shut the public up, why do you think they are still coming here daily?
