Mike Graham HITS OUT At “Rwanda Nonsense“ After MPs Voted To Approve

TalkTV’s Mike Graham slams the Rwanda Bill after Rishi Sunak saw off the prospect of a defeat at the hands of right-wing Conservative MPs. The Safety of Rwanda Bill passed its third reading in the Commons unamended with a majority of 44 after only 11 Tories, including former home secretary Suella Braverman, voted against the Prime Minister’s flagship immigration legislation. Before the third reading vote, Sunak was hit by another revolt - following on from similar sized rebellions on Tuesday - as 61 Tory MPs backed an amendment, proposed by former immigration minister Robert Jenrick, designed to toughen the bill. But rebels, after an 11th hour meeting in Parliament on Wednesday, signalled before the third reading vote that they were prepared to back the Bill without any changes as they regarded that a defeat for the Government would be damaging ahead of a general election that is only months away. Mike says: “I think this a pointless exercise and I don’t think anyone thinks it’s going to work.“ #rwandabill #rishisunak #mikegraham #talktv Click here for more from TalkTV If you need any help visit:
