    Based.

    Got the ball rolling on this, junior doctor strikes, and planning system reform on day one.

    The manifesto was fairly unradical and didn’t seek to rock the boat too much, but tbh I’m glad it wasn’t just filled with unworkable populist stuff that they probably couldn’t achieve (cough, Tory, Green, and Reform, cough).

    The UK has already paid £270 million, with the latest £50 million instalment handed over in April. Nobody was deported, although two failed asylum seekers went to Rwanda voluntarily under a separate agreement that saw them offered a £3,000 incentive to go.

    Just imagine what useful stuff could have been done with that money.

      They could have spent that on no PPE, or on not building a high speed railway, or failing to improve migration, etc.
