MarkoRaj Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Are there any good Scottish Labour MPs from the new intake? Will be interesting to see if the Tartan Mafia makes a resurgence but my guess is they're all centrist nobodies that won't upset the apple cart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a big difference between “3rd county processing”, and the recently abolished Rwanda scheme though. 3rd country processing means that the refugee is sent to a 3rd country to stay there while their application is processed. If the application is successful they then return to the UK. The Rwanda scheme was effectively the UK washing their hands of refugees altogether. The migrants would be sent to Rwanda to apply for asylum in Rwanda. Most major Western countries are considering third country processing. Starmer refused to rule it out but also didn’t say for a fact he’d use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what reason is given because it isn't "Services to Scotland". If you want truth in honours it should say "Services to Unionism" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
