Just thinking ahead of possible outcomes……,If Sunak is ousted anytime in the near future will the ‘boat people’ stop being a problem GB?……or will it be left to whoever takes Sunaks place?

It depends on how many Tory MPs rebel against the Party Whip, and vote against the bill, from what is happening there seems to be a rebellion growing in the Tory Party against Sunak, because the consensus seems to be that the new immigration bill will not succeed in allowing the flights to Rwanda to take place, because the ECHR will still be able to stop the flights from taking place.

You have a tory party and prime minister who should be governing the people when they can't even govern their self..... And these are the ones who said leaving the EU would be a great idea
This has nothing to do with RWANDA it's only got to do with the right of the party trying to keep there seat in the up coming general election .....
If Sunak is ousted the pound will drop throw the floor......

Well i guess it will depend on just how many actual members vote for what they and their constituants expect of them , or to put it wiganese ,,

No matter what you think about the small boats, I am surprised that no one on here has commented upon the PM using the law to alter the status of fact: ie to legally enforce a falsehood to be regarded as fact.
Even Lord Sumption ( Former Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom) who strongly supports it called it a law asserting that black is white. It has also been compared to having a law to declare 'All dogs are cats'.
Very Orwellian!
The sort of thing despots do.
“I have never heard of them trying to change the facts, by law. For as long as black isn’t white, the business of passing acts of parliament to say that it is profoundly discreditable.” Sumption

In my opinion the the illegal immigrants should be sent to Rwanda as soon as possible. Maybe it will act as a deterrent to other wannabe scroungers who are thinking of making the journey here and they will think twice about making their holiday destination here!
They say they have fleed from unsafe countries, so Rwanda will be paradise for them!
Hang on though, it may depend on what benefits the freeloaders can obtain from the Rwandan government. That could have a big say in it

Rishi Sunak swore an oath to Bhagavadgita at the Covid enquiry, because he is an Hindoo LINK
Replied: 11th Dec 2023 at 18:40
Rishi Sunak is a Hindu. Why would he swear on the bible?
Members of the Hindu faith will omit the words “I swear by Almighty God” and substitute the words “I swear by Gita”.

Rwanda Rwanda Rwanda !!!! Before i start some new project or cook new food i google it or watch a video ...... between 2014 and 2017 Israel tried the Rwanda thing
Israel to Pay Rwanda $5,000 for Every Deported Asylum Seeker It Takes In
In addition to the payment to the Rwandan government, Israel will continue to pay asylum seekers $3,500 and their airfare if they leave voluntarily
Israel sent several thousand people to Rwanda and Uganda under a contentious and secretive “voluntary” scheme between 2014 and 2017. Few are believed to have remained there, with many trying to reach Europe.
Taken from a local news papers
Asylum seekers part of 'voluntary' deportation.
Sometimes they are threatened and all their money is stolen from them upon landing. They are transferred to smugglers who, in return for hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars, send them to Uganda. From there they are transferred in a similar fashion to South Sudan, to Sudan and on to Libya, from where they try to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe.
what awaits them upon reaching Rwanda and Uganda were not kept. Instead of access to official claims of asylum and work permits, upon landing in Rwanda their travel documents were taken from them. None of them could access application possibilities to claim asylum. Thus, deprived of any official documents, they were exposed to robbery, threats and imprisonment. They were forced to proceed on to life-threatening journey across South Sudan, Sudan and Libya while seeking shelter. On their way they suffered trafficking in person, imprisonment, the threat of being forcibly returned back to Eritrea, harsh conditions of hunger, violence and slave-labor in Libya’s torture camps, as well as a perilous crossing of the Mediterranean Sea from Libya to Europe. They described a perilous journey permeated with an all-encompassing fear of death haunted by imminent death. Many witnessed the death of fellow travelers during the crossing of the Sahara Desert, in the torture camps in Libya and as they drowned in the Mediterranean. Among the dead were others who had those who left Israel “voluntarily.”
[In Rwanda] “Three days after our arrival, this man picked us up from the airport told us, ‘you must leave for Uganda’. I asked where are our documents and why must we leave? – He said that we must.”
still think it's a good idea ???? OR a deterrent???? they will all just come back to the UK.....

Congo has been pressing for Rwanda to be classed as a terrorist state, on grounds that it offers safe haven to groups who cross over the border to commit murders.
