There was never any evidence that sending asylum seekers to Rwanda (a stupid and cruel idea that thankfully has been declared unlawful) would have stopped the small boats. Too much to hope that this absurd idea can now be replaced with a sensible conversation about fair asylum?

While I'm delighted the UK Court of Appeal has ruled that Rwanda is not a safe third country, yet again the attention is put onto Rwanda's failings rather than the UK's shameful failure to share responsibility. Or have I mis-read the ruling? @ColinYeo1 @StevePeers @ecre

Important read on the neo-colonial dimensions to Africa's debt crisis: "the IMF not only engineers austerity-driven debt crises, but its policies are designed to ensure and manage a permanent debt crisis, not to erase debt."

Shameless. Just shameless. I can't imagine anything more diametrically opposed to sharing responsibility.
So, by now Mr Kagame will have realized that the UK has no intention of honouring one component of the refugee deportation deal signed with Rwanda.
