Wonder who will win these contracts PPE Medpro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 2 hours ago, EvilScotsman said: I think he probably means 'pairing'. 2 hours ago, Left Back said: Doubt the opposition would entertain pairing on a vote that Sunak is staking his government on. They usually approve pairing on both sides. Always someone unavailable on both sides, trips, illnesses, hospital, emergencies to match up a few non voters either side. There have been cases in the past of MPS taken from hospital beds in taxis to get taken through lobbies in wheelchairs. If they all getting recalled they cannot be sure of pairing to match up and they know voting is going to be very tight, might not be in end but when decision made they were worried enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I reckon it won't be tight at all, seeing the news. Pass with at least a 20 majority. Hope I'm wrong, but by making it sound like it's in the balance it'll be seen as a big win for the government if it passes with double digits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Still reckon it will pass as well, but only to avoid a leadership contest. Astonishing to think that this sorry excuse for a govt will still limp on for another full year yet..but they will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 To be perfectly honest, the way the UK is lurching to the right, Rwanda might actually be the better option for asylum seekers. As a country, we are a fucking disgrace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The bill passing tonight will be hailed by Sunak and Co, but that may be the easy bit. It will face a stormy passage in the Lord's and there will be future opportunities for amendments which will hinder it's passage. Hopefully it will never see the light of day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still unlikely to see a single flight take off before they are ousted even if it passes both chambers. The legal challenges will then resume. It's a total smokescreen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they won't be quite so blatant and whatever govt families member wins a contract will at least have the decency to set up another series of shell companies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I understand that as part of the scheme, some residents of Rwanda will be able to claim asylum in the UK. Anyone know on why anyone staying in a "safe" country like Rwanda could possibly want asylum in such a welcoming place for asylum seekers as the UK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi2 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) They have shown themselves, as was the case with Brexit, to be run by the mad ERG, who will now get their ammendments (presumably breaking International Law), just to allow Sunak to stand in front of a board saying Stop the Boats at the GE, this time next year.
