Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT

"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"

"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"

"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"

"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"

"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"

"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"

"That is your deterrent"

"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"

Very well said @timfarron 👏

🧵 I don’t think many of the media or people on platforms like this understand quite what @Keir_Starmer has done. Parliamentary democracy is designed to have a number of safeguards to stop party leaders behaving as despots: one of those is limits of the use of the whip. (1/9)

Beth Rigby, "You could raise taxes on the top 5%"

Keir Starmer, "It's important to stand up and say I can't afford to do what I said I would do before"

Beth Rigby, "Why can't you afford to raise taxes on the top 5% of earners?"

Keir Starmer, "To simply stick with something which you know you can't afford"

Beth Rigby, "You can afford to raise taxes on higher earners"

Keir Starmer, "There are some things we now can't afford because of the damage done to the economy"

Stellar questioning by @BethRigby and the answer remains: how is raising taxes on the top 5% something that can't be afforded? 🤷‍♂��

the problem with feeding starving children is it's not fiscally responsible. if labour are to be trusted on the economy, it's important that children continue to starve - this is just grown-up politics

Unelected bureaucrat David Cameron explains how we need the Rwanda plan because of Brexit 🤦‍♂️

Anushka Asthana, "Hand on heart. If this had come up when you were PM, would you have gone with this Rwanda policy?"

David Cameron, "We had a situation where you could return people directly to France.. People land on a beach in Kent, you take them straight back to France.. You therefore break the model of the people smugglers"

Anushka Asthana, "Shouldn't you be trying to get that?"

David Cameron, "That's not available at the moment"

Anushka Asthana, "Because of Brexit?"

David Cameron, "(Yes) Because of the situation we are in (having left the EU)"

The UK has participated in the Dublin process since it was inaugurated in 1990. When the UK left the EU, the UK left the Dublin agreement and we no longer have the automatic right to return asylum seekers back to France.

So Brexit was to take back control from unelected bureaucrats, and here we have David Cameron an unelected bureaucrat in charge of our foreign policy.

And Brexit was about taking control of our borders and asylum seekers, and we've lost the ability to return asylum seekers to France, and instead have to spend over £1,000,000 to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, in a 1 in 1 out policy i.e. for every asylum seeker we send to Rwanda, they send us one of their asylum seekers, so we don't have fewer asylum seekers, we're just shuffling asylum seekers around.

Hundreds of millions for a PR campaign to appease racists while there is a cost of living crisis in the UK and millions of Brits living in poverty. Disgraceful.

Nobody is saying that trans criminals don’t exist. They do.
What we’re saying is that law abiding trans people shouldn’t be held accountable for, or their legal protections removed, owing to the behaviour of criminals. We don’t do this for any other group of people.
