He's absolutely right, the patience of the British people has run out. Call a general election now.
Election will make no difference.
Bang on
When is he going to India
It's pretty much May and Rishi still trying to dodge GE questions. He wants flights going in Summer and through the autumn to the headbangers drumbeat but he has 16 days recess already between now and the July 23rd summer recess which has a TBA return. That leaves about 5 months to fit in an election AND get planes in the air AND deal with whatever crazy shenanigans the backbenchers get up to (politically I mean, not the general groping, funds misuse or lining their mates pockets shenanigans).
We as taxpayers need to demand it

is he bullock's
Ronald dishonorable surat at large once again 🤬🔥🤬
Torie's , spew out lies every time the open their mouths
He can hardly keep his forked snake tongue from slithering out every time he lies.
He's got a majority in the Commons and the Lords and still blames Labour. If he can so easily lie about something so obvious, why would you expect him to tell the truth in complex matters. Shameless.
Red and blue Tory party's
I'm surprised anyone can stand to stay in the room with the amount of sh** pouring out of his mouth. Nothing but lies and excuses
It wasnt just Labour that voted against it it was some of his own party that are against it this isnt a vote it's a dictatorship....in his own words I'm going to go ahead with this...what ever!! That's not a democracy that's a dictatorship!!! If any of these returns go wrong our names are not gonna be worth anything he has been warned by everyone and Rewanda can send any back anyway.....hes breaking the Law and getting us to back him!!!
This man is so incompetent and workshy, can you imagine if he didn't have rich parents and a rich wife?
Its so annoying noone ever calls him out on that most obvious lie. Labour don't control the house of lords, not even close.
A Tory majority in the Lords and he still blames Labour. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
100%, its his party not voting for it, but hey ho, as always blame somebody else.
yes always someone else's fault never his who been in charge for the last 14 years tories muppets
Why is nobody asking the cost, probably because he cannot control his simmering anger 😡
As a Labour voter I am no fan of Keir Stammer but you can't keep blaming Labour when you have been in power for 14 years. Please stop treating the majourity of British people like bloody idiots!.
I couldn't make it to the end, I'm completely Toried up. The worst run of government in British history.
Listening to Tories does that.
And then he wonders why mental illness in the UK has skyrocketed in the last 10 years.
I'm Scottish my loyalty is only to Scotland...Im never British/english colonizer 🤮
@@britnatzaredemocracydenier5922 good on you.
I only managed 3 minutes.
It's not CRYSTAL CLEAR...the BRITISH people have NOT VOTED FOR THIS SO STOP TELLING US ALL BRITISH PEOPLE WANT THIS.
If you look at the polls the public is split about 50/50 even with the extremely biased media coverage on this issue. The media hasn't pushed back on this bill at all and still about 50% of people oppose it, clearly not a "loud minority" c
Absolutely!!!
Yep, He is perfect lier.
Deport Sunak 1st
Yes we do want it the British tax payers like me are fed up with paying for migrants our NHS is at breaking point housing can't cope schools can't cope end of we don't want mass migrants
"They aren't here to fix anything. They're here to loot the public purse." - never a truer word said about these spoilt rich brats.
He has looted
But why blame him when the British media (aka journalists) are complicit?
It's the international order. Know your role shut your mouth.
@@lionroar26.Why not blame him as he is as guilty as hell.Sunak wanted the job so he can take the flak that comes with it.
@@soulsaver369correct
Spewing rubbish again and again put him on a flight
This guy is lying! Completely inhumane.
He reminds me of Muslims/Islam. In their religion, they will tell you every lie they can to convert you to Islam. They'll also be as sweet as they can be to your face.
Why doesnt someone tell Sunak the Supreme Court is not a foreign court. He keeps repeating the same nonsense.
And Labour dont have a majority in the House of Lords.
And it is categorically not the people's priority given that he knows the people's priority is for him to call a general election so we can get rid of him.
This isn't in the Tory manifesto, the people have had zero say on this and he knows it.
@@monged4life442 Journalists need to do their job and hit Sunak with facts when he spouts his nonsense.
@@GerryT. Absolutely, not asking difficult questions for fear of not being invited to the next announcement just neuters the few who do have some integrity left
Sunak doesn’t speak for the people of this country, do us all a favour and take yourself and your family to Rwanda I’m sure you’ll be very happy in that totally safe country
His wife owns the security company
shes twice as rich as he is remember
@@mcfcguvnors I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear she's bought shares in whatever flight ends up taking them too.
Most people are getting fed up of the Tories. Not before time.
@@monged4life442it’s the RAF who are being forced to use their resources. No commercial airline companies want to go near this, not even RwandAir 🤷🏾♂️ says it all really!!
@@nazoooom The RAF had ruled out any involvement. They're not breaking international law for an election gimmic
Disgusting. 😡😡😡😡
Mind Begs the Question:
- Satan said Devils/Jinns are Superior Race
- Hitler said Ariens are Superior Race
- Those who hold Superior Caste/Race complex
- Following God or Satan?
Get a ticket to Rwanda then
Can’t wait for general election and hope voters vote him out.
Whoever wins the next general election, we all lose.
This country is a shitshow.
There's something deeply flawed with this man and the Conservative Party!
I am a nice friendly understanding person. I absolutely loathe this charlatan.
I’m way beyond that. I hate him and everything he represents.
You are not alone
Does anyone ever expect Sunak to clearly answer a question anymore?
Wasting OUR money that hardly anyone wants and those that do, shouldn't be listened to.
Its blatant money laundering? They send their mates in Rwanda shed loads of tax payer money? Rwanda keeps a cut and then sends the rest back to the Tories bank accounts?
They have 0 mandate for this policy. It was never in their manifesto. They should put it in their next one and give us the chance to vote on it
The fact that he disagreed with his flagship policy and tried to abolish it while he was the chancellor is utterly shameless.
It's also wildly unpopular. Only 20% support the legislation as it stands, only 17% think it can potentially be adapted to work, 23% don't know or care, but everyone else who responded (40%) said it should be scrapped (YouGov, Jan. 2024, n.2695). The rationale behind this idea is mind-boggling - it's expensive, illegal, internationally embarrassing, and unpopular. I can only assume someone's lining their pockets, because there's no rational case for it.
"a loud minority of people who will do everything and anything to stop this policy from succeeding". No Rishi, it's a loud MAJORITY telling you your policy is batsh*t, including members from your own benches. Even you yourself expressed reservations about Rwanda when you were chancellor!!!
He's not selling it very well.
The tortured puppy eyes he makes when he feigns concern and empathy didn't convince you?
@@hg82metSuank naver cares
This Rwanda policy was NOT IN THE TORY MANIFESTO.....and opinion polls show it doesn't have a vast majority in favour of it.
What Sunak is not talking about is the amount of Rwandan refugees we’ve have got to take back in return, that always part of the deal!
LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES.
The "nasty party" doesn't even come close to describing the else racists.
They are pro mass immigration/ cheap labour for Capitalism. 1.2 million in one year. House of Commons Libary.
send sunak to Rwanda
And the rest of the political shite
Yes please 🙏🏼
This crook should be in prison
Boris first
leaving as many nasty legacies as he can before he tootles away.
Fed up with endless tory crap
Forget Rwanda, it’s all noise, where is our General Election ?
A Tory majority in the Lords, a Tory majority in the commons however it’s still Labours fault?
Typical Sunak ... full of excuses and everything is Labour's fault ... hurry up and do one ya muppet.
blaming everyone else except himself and the tories
WE NEED A GENERAL ELECTION. My patience has completely run out with this guy and his party.
he hates it being called out he is super thin skined and aragent
is just me or do none of these journalists ask any difficult questions. The press has become weak and scared and are partly to blame letting politicians get away with so much.
Every question was from the Tory client media so what would you expect
Rwanda cares - they dont want them anymore than we do or Albania wants then back
@@londo776 Yep. The LBC correspondant there said she was waiting to ask how much having an airport on standby just for this was costing us, but strangely she or anyone else about to ask that wasn't called up.
Remember how the Tories boycotted GMB for over a year because they didn't like the questions being asked. Heaven offend they be held accountable for their decisions.
@jesush.tap-dancingchrist7328 remember when Channel 4 replaced Boris Johnson with an icecube because he didn't show up?
We need more journalists willing to leave an empty chair for Tories who don't want to answer questions, and talk to those who do
I know there's plenty of other politicians and activists with plenty to say about Tory policy if the Tories want to hide in the fridge!
No one wants your stinking policy Rishi... even the Lords knows how retched this thing is and are doing their job by blocking bad policy
Never answered any question! ****!
never does, total smoke and mirrors.
Was there any question of substance to answer? How about pull him up on his claim they brought boat crossings down by a 1/3, when the Met office has already disproven his boast by showing the seas were too rough to sail. Or pull him up on his claims it’s all Labours fault, I mean the conservatives broke the asylum system in the first place, and he has a majority in the commons and the lords yet he blames Labour for this shambles. Or even better pull him up on one of the reasons the lords sent the bill back, like the fact they didn’t want Afghans who helped the British Military sent to Rwanda. This guy is a C*NT!
Rwanda have already started selling these houses.
1 flight will take up whats available
And it’s capped
And we have to accept them back if they’re “ naughty”
And we accept Rwanda’s export
And we pay for each we send across for the first few years
@@drake128 even Ryanair won't supply planes
Changing the Law to fit isnt rectifying anything.
Its a despicable act from a failure of. Government.
Can he telepathically communicate with the British people or something? How does he know what we want? There was no election for him.
If Rwanda is such a great safe destination, how is it a deterrent?
Will he resign or call a General Election on the 15 July? The day after the flights don't take off.
Bs, not one flight will leave.
Hope not this bill not only doesn't make sense but it takes away a huge amount of protections of all our rights that our ancestors fought so hard to establish.
This is hot garbage
Majority of the immigration that comes to UK is "legally".
The dinghies is nothing but a sugar coat.
How do we deal with the real issues is a different matter.
ironic that the rwandan security company is owned by a "Mrs Sunak "
the one flight there has been 4 of the security company came back here to claim assylum
JUST DEPORT THE MIGRANTS ffs & him blaming labour when the answer is obvious
Vietnam is not an issue , they are welcome here
One could say that a more effective deterrent is a robust immigration system
Don't just ask "How many people" will be sent to Rwanda, ask how much it's cost so far and how much that is likely to increase to by the time they manage to send somebody? Why don't they ask why Sunak has wedded himself to a policy he doesn't agree with or even believe in? Laughable.
Sounds like he's saying we shouldn't have democracy or that people shouldn't be allowed to oppose his views.
Yup
Blames Labour for his failures
I cant listen to him anymore, the lies are too much. The only thing the people want is the tories out of power for good.
That's right Rishi, look over your folder of prepared statements before dodging the next question
It says here...
A pathetic word salad of lies, corruption and incompetence
For a man who has control of both houses he sure is worried about labour’s influence
Israel had a "voluntary departure" scheme for 4,000 migrant deportations with Rwanda between 2014 and 2017. Most were driven straight to the border. Almost all are thought to have left the country almost immediately, with many attempting to return to Europe via people-smuggling routes.
Rwandan homes that were previously earmarked to house migrants deported from the UK have already been sold to local buyers. the developer has said.
Some 70% of the 163 affordable homes on the Bwiza Riverside estate have been sold, the developer ADHI-Rwanda said.
On top of the £220 million Britain has already paid Rwanda, the UK government has agreed to pay an extra £150 million over the next three years, and £120 million pounds once the first 300 asylum seekers have been resettled, the National Audit Office (NAO) said on Friday 1st March 2024. Still not one person has been sent to Rwanda.
He keeps moaning about bill blockers! That’s all he has.
Labour won’t help him pass his plan! 😂
@@HuplesCat He should have mentioned that the 1 Reform Party MP blocked him from doing his plan too. That would be just as factually correct.
@@monged4life442 More so as he cannot pass it due to his own Party and those who left his Party. Blaming Labour is beyond dumb
@@HuplesCat but as long as it's completely unchallenged the general populace will just take it at face value
@@monged4life442 Yup. We don't have much longer as a civilization anyway. Have a great week!
It needs to be said !
Someone needs to say it !
So I'll say it,
THE EMPEROR IS STARK BOLLOCK NAKED 😂😂😂
‘Rishi, you’re talking bollocks again’
‘Well thanks Hugo, yes I am partial to speaking bollocks on occasion, now onto Beth at Sky’
Immigrants on boats make up less than 5% of immigrants coming into the UK each year.
The latter cohort brings in revenue, talent, tax contribution and do not pose a security risk.
@@johnspencer3621 so the latter cohort are just economic migrants wanting to earn a quick buck to send home to their families John. Refugees create tax revenue, bring talent and pay taxes AND don’t pose a security risk…IF they are processed and granted asylum.
Why do you think we should spend our tax money and give away our housing and our NHS places for economic migrants rather than vulnerable refugees fleeing war? I know which one is most deserving.
I'm literally sick of these so called journalists who never pull him when he constantly mentions it's the Labour party that's stopping his plan. The Tories have more people in the house of lords and parliament
The journalists don’t even bother, as he will continue spinning..
Just to be clear, the Tories have a majority in the House of Lords, so Labour holding this up is a lie
Yeah about a 100 seat majority. If their own peers were in agreement with this policy, it would sail through with no objections.
The way they always look down, as if pretending to poring through their notes to the answers, really fucks me off. It's so rude. Look at people when they're talking to you, you absolute teenager.
Every PMQ's all these PMs look carefully down at their notes each time Starmer has even a mildly challenging question. Intellectuals cowards. It's like they can't bear even the slightest hint of responsiblity.
Is that regular drumbeat the sound of millions of Brits banging their heads against the wall upon hearing this?
When he is kicked out this bat-shit idea will be cancelled.
Unless Reform win then it will be rapidly unsealed and Sunak will find himself unwanted by the government
Richy Rishi the petulant spoiled rich boy
it would be more humane, cheaper and easier to process asylum seekers in UK rather than illegally traffic some of the worlds most vulnerable people to Africa.
When I was in school, I was taught to look at someone when they are speaking to you. You can tell he was the runt of the litter, he has little man syndrome written all over himself from head to toe, which isn't much space to write much.
You are being unfair to runts
The asylum seekers coming here have never heard of the Rwanda scheme, lol. So how is it deterring them exactly?
"People's patience has run out." With your bullshit.
I think the muppet means a loud MAJORITY. What a bloody liar!
Umm so the people are wit you? and that would be why you are 20+ points behind in the polls would it?
He even admitted in an interview his Rwanda plan brakes international law he said that himself but is to stupid to remember it's time for you to go
look out your window as the river Thames is a massive open sewer,the big stink 2.0
Useless journalists, what's the point in asking a question and then not calling him out when the question isn't sufficiently answered.
Outrageous that the opposition party tried to stop your bat shit bonkers policy. That is the opposition’s job Prime Minister.
Tbf it shouldn't matter if every member of the opposition voted against him, he has the majority in both Houses. Its the rest of the Tory MPs and Lords that are blocking it, because it's a batcrap crazy policy 😂
Load of Bull!!!!!! TORIES OUT
Did he answer a single question?
Does he ever? I pretty sure the only qualification for being a politician (especially a blue one) is the ability to talk in circles without actually saying anything 😂😂
@Wimblefish PMQ's is an absolute joke. It's basically two people talking about totally different things.
Im wondering if Rwanda is safe, why does it say on the home office website that British nationals should avoid travelling to Rwanda?
Regardless of the cruelty of the policy, their actual planning, design and implementation is spectacularly incompetent
Sunak would have had a job in victorian times as a "gas lighter"
How much is this gimmick costing?
Nearly half a billion for 300 people... crazy part is no ones been sent yet so that taxpayer money is just *gone*
That’s scandalous and they magically get courts and judges at the ready when our justice system has huge backlogs, you couldn’t make it up.
And what airline is going to take part in this? No one wants to touch it!
And wouldn't it be against international law to use military aircraft to transport the people being sent to Rwanda?
I've heard a lot of people saying it will be 'Air Tanker', a private subsidiary of the mod that has two Airbus jets and operates out of RAF Brize Norton. No idea if this is true, but they have a website (and a yt channel 😂) and it does seem plausible...
Questions Questions, no answers
Just remember Rishi, only umpteen more by-elections to go before you call a general election.
I didn't hear one reporter state that it is not just labour piers that are voting against it, but tory lords are too.. He is full of his own self importance calling these stupid press conferences.
Grilled or RINSED?
DECIMATED? Joe tends to rotate a few
Conservatives have a majority in the lower and higher house. Rishi: "bUt lAbOuR"...
He “dealt” with the Albanians.Not very difficult as they are European Union members.
Not quite, they achieved candidate status but not part of the EU as such... they're closer to the EU than we catastrophically chose not to be and lose influence on managing immigration
"Why is it every time I open my mouth someone says something stupid"😃😃
Every time he's asked questions he looks down and flips pages while rearranging whatever is Infront of him, he never makes eye contact, no pun intended, it's very strange body language, I just sense his contempt at being questioned.
This.
It's interesting to me because usually a lack of eye contact and fidgety body language implies somebody's nervous. But with Rishi it comes off far more like impatience - as though he's resentful of the fact that he has to answer your question because he considers it beneath him.
It dials up a notch when the person asking the question is a woman too. And there's a slight change in his language - for example I've noticed he HATES having to explain something twice and with men he'll typically say something like "well, I'll refer to what I said earlier..." in a serious but impatient tone.
With women however, he usually stops looking down / faffing and suddenly looks them straight in the eye, and with a smirk on his face he'll say "Look, I don't want to waste everyone's time going over things I've already said today, I've been very clear..."
Also he lets men interrupt him but if a woman tries to he just keeps on talking but louder. It makes the panels/ inquiries he gets questioned on sooo frustrating to watch 🙃🙃🙃
Is the House Of Lords fit-for-purpose?
What purpose?
Priority, Payment (£300 p.d.) & Peerages to corrupt loyalists??
Not a single True statement - How is he NOT called out on this?!
Patience has run out for Rishi Sunak
I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned Jeremy Corbyn
Or Angie Rayner.
Why does he struggle to look these journalists in the eye when they are asking him questions? Instead, he starts flicking through papers as though the answers lie in his notes. Really strange behaviour.
Such a waste of space..Green card at the ready
why do we have such abysmal bought and kept politicians?
election comming soon if the amount of times he said labour party is anything to go by
It won't work as a deterrent.
I still don't get this; the guy doesn't look at the reporter asking the question but is fascinated by his folder as if the answers are in there. It makes him look uninterested, unprepared and weak
An excellent speech by the prime miniature. He managed to go through eight minutes without mentioning Corbyn once... I think.
Who is running the country? With less labour peers in the House of Lords than conservatives how are labour voting it down? Are the Conservative peers just not turning up but taking the money instead?
They're not. He's just telling porkies as usual.
Southampton... Wardrobe... Skeletons
How can a majority government NOT get it's way? There must be support for the "blocking at every turn" from all parties not just Labour. More tories in the Lords, more tories in the commons. A party political rant ready for the election.
