You can't just drop that one liner and run, your going to have to say what should replace it and how/why it would be better after the change?

Interesting how Nige didn't mention it while gaming the system by pulling 300 MP's from key seats to help Boris achieve a Majority. I've backed electoral reform for years and voted in favour of it last time we got a say, it' just funny to see the right wing parites and media suddenly moaning now the shoe is on the other foot!

Sadly after 3 seasons with his feet up in the MLS I suspect he is even further past he prime than he was when spurs ditched him! Another who’s bank balance did better from leaving saints than his career did! Celtic were a great feeder club for us back then got a couple of gems!

National insurance is a total misnomer and it doesn’t fund the NHS directly it is just stealth general taxation that makes income tax appear lower and gives a tax break to rich people with large unearned incomes! You can play the waste and overspend card as often as you like it will never trump the fact we don’t spend enough if we want a leading health service you can fund it anyway you like and makes as many savings as you like it still needs loads more money to be on a par with the best in the world. private healthcare is a tricky one as in the UK it only covers certain things it won’t for example pay to scrape you off the road, rush you to hospital and save your life after you get hit by a car! I do agree that private health care has a part to play in a balance but it can’t simply be allowed to hoover up the easy work and leave the complex less profitable stuff in the hands of the NHS or let the NHS pick up the cost of treatments gone wrong.

Celebrity death match style please

This is a good comparison of healthcare spending between European countries and shows the shortfall really clearly. The Scandinavian countries have generally excellent healthcare and fun it mostly from a tax funded insurance system with some cost sharing Germany again has a great system they fund it through compulsory insurance based on income levels. I would agree there is room for a discussion on how we fund the NHS but what can't be questioned is that it is underfunded by a significant amount and if we want it to be better we have to spend more on it where ever the money comes from. Drives me mad to see people saying we just need to cut the waste, or the managers or the xxx when the numbers say we don't fund it inline with comparable countries.

And incredibly on Friday morning could be leader of the opposition!

Because our spending on healthcare is well behind that of similar countries who shock horror have better healthcare services. It really isn’t rocket science if you want the NHS to be world beating it needs to at least get close to world beating money!

Text from the actual bill, that as far as I can see is directly instructing the court that is can’t find Rwanda to be generally unsafe, from where I’m sat that is the government interfering with the finding of the Supreme Court and attempting to prevent them making the same decision again simply because they didn’t like it. Maybe it’s different interpretations but that legislation is awful. Enabling Parliament to confirm that, with the new treaty, Rwanda is safe. Requiring decision makers and courts and tribunals to treat Rwanda as generally safe, when making decisions, or hearing claims about decisions relating to the removal of a person to Rwanda. Preventing domestic courts and tribunals from hearing cases or granting interim remedies on matters relating only to general safety of Rwanda.

His dad was our record signing for quite a while maybe we should chuck City £30m just for the future pub quiz question!

Nothing about his career to date says he has what it takes to make it in the prem his goal return when on loan in the championship has been abysmal I just can’t get exited about a player who got 8 goals in 31 games last year.

It’s already stuck enough that Nigel Farage was repeating it the other day and then using it to support a ridiculous accusation that there is a significant problem with dodgy UK postal votes. Before you know it people will believe him (Much like Trump some people will believe anything he says) and start parroting it as truth left right and centre and it all adds together to undermine faith in democracy that is essential for it to function correctly.

People are saying that that is a possibility not that it will definitely happen but that it is more likely under Trump than Biden.

I don’t think it will be the end of elections but he could well make the transition even more sketchy than last time! imagine for a moment the morning of the 5th July and Rishi realising he has lost but instead of taking to the lecturn and graciously conceding defeat (which is what he will do more or less) announcing that the election was stolen with made up votes, that he in fact won and that he intends to take legal action to prove that and calling on his supporters to rise up. He would still get moved on but the damage you do with prominent politicians undermining democracy like this is palpable.

So there we go it is totally different to our governments planned one way ticket to Rwanda. Which is hideously flawed anyway as it covers about 300 (less than 1% of the yearly arrivals) small boat arrivals a year going to Rwanda with an as yet unknown number being sent in the opposite direction.

That’s fine you hand wave away his anti democratic behaviour, fingers crossed the system remains strong enough to resist him. Which as you say it likely will but I suspect it won’t be for lack of him trying to undermine it!

Guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one when the government essential passes a law telling the Supreme Court they got it wrong and nothing else then that isn’t separation of powers that is the government attempting to undermine the independent decision of the court.

As far as I can see yes.

They are not deporting people who have arrived on their shores who they have an obligation under international treaties to process for asylum. It is totally different maybe as it’s voluntary for starters and run by the UNHCR!

I think I must bot be being clear, our Supreme Court cannot be considered independent if a government enacts legislation to force it to accept a position it ruled against.

No they pay into a scheme that relocates vulnerable potential asylum seekers from Lybia to Rwanda. None of those individuals have arrived in the EU and to claim asylum a totally different proposal to the UK scheme. Carry on making yourself look silly.

No serious politician in the UK said the brexit vote or Boris winning was a fix, or blamed made up postal votes etc etc. Conflating people not being happy with the outcome with the actions Trump took after the last US election is part of the reason he gets away with such ludicrous behaviour.

Well he did try to overturn the result of the last election, insight an attempted insurrection and still to this day refuses to accept the legitimate result of a democratic process.... Hopefully the US courts etc are too strong/sensible to allow him to do anything really stupid but I wouldn't bet against him trying to remain longer than he is allowed.

The Supreme Court didn’t undermine the government they used available evidence and found that Rwanda wasn’t a safe country to send refugees too. The job of the Supreme Court isn’t to support the government it is to rule impartially on cases that come before it. I think the government are attempting to undermine the Supreme Court by declaring Rwanda safe by act of parliament when the Supreme Court said it wasn’t and I’ve yet to see any evidence to the contrary. I'm happy to debate that point in good faith, but equally if you don't want to that's your choice.

Come on explain it then honestly I’m happy to be convinced you are not wasting your time just explain it….
