This whole Irish angle adds another twist to the problems raised by the Rwanda asylum bill: ft.com/content/e2beac…
"The Refugee Council predicts the law could leave 115,575 asylum seekers in 'permanent limbo' by the end of this year, because it bars the UK from processing their claims but there is insufficient capacity for them all to be deported to Rwanda."

Goodness me. What ignorance.
We should stop feeling bad about our miserable sales: nobody buys books "data on 58,000 titles published in a year and discovered that 90 percent of them sold fewer than 2,000 copies and 50 percent sold less than a dozen copies." elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-…
Great oped by Ian Birrell on Rishi Sunak's decision to go full throttle on the Rwanda bill, a "crass pandering to the populist hard right". I hope once this govt falls an inquiry will be launched into the money preemptively lavished on this doomed project. inews.co.uk/opinion/rishi-…
This is such a silly comparison. Police states are indeed very safe places as long as you shut up, don't get involved in politics, don't expect your vote to be respected. The clue is in the label: POLICE state. Rwanda is one, the UK is not. independent.co.uk/tv/news/rwanda…
In 2022 Andrew Mitchell, who now claims opposition to the Rwanda asylum scheme in the House of Lords is fuelled by "borderline racism", campaigned energetically against it, pointing out that it would be cheaper to put asylum seekers up in the Ritz.

As a young journalist I remember writing so many stories mentioning Terry Anderson, the reporter held hostage in Lebanon. Anderson, MacCarthy, Kauffmann. Year after a year, story after story. I'm glad he got out and died at home, many years later. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
“It’s far from clear that the whole scheme will be operational any time soon in a way that complies with the Supreme Court judgment, because there is still a lot for the Rwandans to do on the ground,” said the director of a UK think tank. ft.com/content/b8e857…
Not a massive surprise. The Foreign Office, in contrast with the Home Office, understood the stakes involved and the nature of the country being proposed as a "safe" destination. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

I'm very sorry to hear Andrew Mitchell sell his soul on the radio right now. A formerly decent man with knowledge of his subject area who must know the nonsense he is spewing. He should hang his head in shame.

I want to replicate my Rwanda scheme by not deporting anyone to Armenia, Costa Rica and Botswana after giving them loads of money.
Excl: Britain has entered talks to replicate the Rwanda migrant deportation scheme with Armenia, Ivory Coast, Costa Rica and Botswana. Leaked documents reveal the government’s extensive search for additional third country deals: thetimes.co.uk/article/uk-tal…
What Home Office sources have been telling me makes even more sense in light of the documents leaked to The Times tonight The government is already desperately looking elsewhere
The scale of the Rwanda scheme is now very different to the large-scale and systematic removals originally promised by ministers A civil servant told me efforts are geared towards a single flight as “proof of concept”, calling it an “election vanity scam” inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
Got this through the post and it looks brilliant - well done @TomGardner18
@michelawrong Thank you for your diligence and doggedness in following the money and dragging assignations in to the light. I will be passing my copy of Do Not Disturb to my MP. How dare the British Government use Rwanda to terrorize people seeking asylum!
Just checking something in these this morning and realised I’d got used to how frequently and audaciously the BBC breaches its own rules. If you’ve never read them, your jaw will drop. It’s not a hefty read but I’ll screenshot a few examples. bbc.co.uk/editorialguide…
I wish Michela Wrong @michelawrong, author of the iconic books ‘I Didn't Do It For You’ and ‘In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz’, would one day write a book that explores the Eritrean government’s Transnational Repression on the Eritrean diaspora communities. It would have made it…
Transnational repression by African dictatorships targeting diasporas in the West is becoming more and more of a problem. Some Western govts and security forces are learning how to handle these challenges effectively. Others are taking their own sweet time.
@michelawrong Indeed he was. Love your books, all of them.
