To be frank, it's not difficult to demolish these Tory ministers - Yvette Cooper is miles ahead of them intellectually and morally. She has more integrity in her little finger than the whole Tory party combined.

[@petyrkowalski9887]

Very true. She would make a great party leader.

Im glad the wider electorate are starting to notice Yvette Cooper’s insane talent and expertise. She has worked tirelessly. She deserves to be Labour PM. In PMQs she would be an absolute force. She’s well used to wiping the floor with Braverman etc its her time. Its long overdue!

@@moonshine9902 I think (personally) Starmer is better in this point of time. It is politics, you need to get as much voters to vote for you as possible (FPTP), that means you need former conservative and don't know voters. Labour will win with a landslide. She is great i can't disagree with that and very good at this shadow cabinet position. Simple advice labour leadership won't change before the next election, so better stand behind it if you want to get rid of the tories.

[@22Phantasm]

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]

[@ArtGirl82]

Well she has every right to look on them with disgust. The idea that the only thing keeping an evolved democracy like the UK government from dumping asylum seekers in RWANDA of all places, is the government of Rwanda's "unwillingness" to break international law, is disgusting and laughable at the same time. Rwanda is currently backing rebels who've committed war crimes, including sexual violence, in the DRC! The whole place is a poverty stricken hell hole, where there's no freedom of the press and the majority of all wealth and mineral resources in the country is controlled by a small elite. That this is the places where they want to send people trying to flee conflict areas for a better life, is frankly appalling.

[@jubear1493]
