Rwanda is far from the most dangerous place on earth, though it has an authoritarian system and is engaged in wars in neighbouring countries. The UK Supreme Court says it hasn't demonstrated its safety for asylum seekers, and the treaty hasn't been road tested yet #politicslive

The really high immigration figures are your government's policy Mr O'Brien. Are you proposing the abandonment of the Hong Kong scheme? #politicslive
Sorry Mr Green, voluntary removal to Rwanda requires the asylum application to have been processed. The Rwanda scheme prevents that happening. #politicslive

"The EU Commission is facing an election in June." That's a weird throwaway remark. The Commission isn't elected, and it's not selected from people who are elected. But the Commission can be sacked en masse by the Parliament. #r4today

Could somebody do some sums? Would housing existing armed forces personnel properly, running the recruitment service properly, managing the procurement service properly… just doing everything properly, with nothing actually new… lift defence spending to 2.5% of GDP? #r4today

@nickwallis I suggested once that it would be good to hear from the mayor of Bristol - he was in the shower but got straight out and phoned in 👋👋👋
@Janekelly25 Goodness - asylum-seekers are criticised for taking their families *and* criticised for going on ahead. They really cannot win. #r4today Yes, Akmar had his whole family with him.
@SmithSpeak On the eve of nationwide elections, pronouncing the death of democracy seems a little premature! #r4today
£3000 *and* free board and lodging in Rwanda for 5 years. There are some Brits who would apply! #r4today
@eddwilson @Helen121 Abortion restrictions are making inroads to the support of traditional Republicans. The results of Trump’s handiwork are kicking in months before the Election that’s good for Biden. But it’s still staggering that half the country can still want to vote for a dictatorship #r4today
@Catofbengals And seems we're paying Rwanda to provide him with free board and lodgings for the next five years. "This extortionate pre-election gimmick is likely to be costing on average £2million per person" - whereas he could just be filling up labour shortages here. #r4today
@BBCPM please remind listeners that if they want to drop their postal vote in at a polling station now have to wait and fill in a form. Can only drop 5 votes + their own . No form completed = the vote won’t go into be counted. This was all news to me and I suspect many others

@LawrieMcW Can only speak for myself but I'm saying they're talking about reforms to PIP as if it was an out of work benefit when it's not. It's to pay for extra costs incurred by disabled people like taxis, special dietary needs, equipment, etc whether in work or not. #politicslive
@eddwilson @BBCr4today Thanks for that. Goodness. I mean, it makes sense they would but...
@eddwilson Yes, the question seemed to be oblivious that the campus protests started at Columbia.
And it’s not just social media that is driving people into simplistic and extremist positions - the mainstream media often seem happy to help if it makes journalism easier/cheaper. The result is populism and nationalism - two sides of a hopeless coin… #r4today
@eddwilson time. But he will conveniently avoid talking to the media. They are unlikely to continue following the story much. They'll move on. Find other stories to deflect attention from the public. 2/
