Labour candidate’s hypocrisy is increasingly typical of Starmer’s endless game-playing on migration
Rwanda division
LABOUR’s forked tongue on migration has been well and truly exposed.
Party leader Sir Keir Starmer insists Rwanda is a dangerous place to send illegal migrants.
Yet one of his own General Election candidates thinks it’s safe enough to sell holidays there for British children.
Sam Rushworth makes up to £2,000 for each 13-year-old child he sends on one of his African Dreams trips.
And good luck to him — were it not for the fact that he is actively campaigning in the Bishop Auckland seat against the Tories and their Rwanda scheme.
And that Starmer’s own Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has described the plan as “shameful” and against “core British values of decency”.

Voters will get the chance to make up their own minds on Mr Rushworth’s apparent double standards next year.
But this kind of hypocrisy is increasingly typical of Starmer’s “say one thing, do another” approach. And of Labour’s endless game-playing on migration.
Starmer has tried to vote down every single Tory attempt to tackle the illegal migrants.
Rwanda remains the Government’s only card left to play.

Bras neck, Mone
IN an interview aimed at laundering her stained reputation, Michelle Mone said she regrets lying to the Press about her involvement in a potential PPE pandemic scandal.

She lied merely to protect her family.
So that’s all right then.
No doubt the authorities probing her husband’s £60million deals will in time decide whether any offences were committed.
Questions about Baroness Bra only emerged after the story was exposed by newspapers.
Something to think about for those currently attempting to criminalise our free Press.
Bride & prejudice
WHITE weddings are out. Woke weddings are in.
So think barmy church leaders, who are now insisting on checking if happy couples want to be referred to as “husband and wife”.
But how many well-wishers at the average nuptials are really sitting in the aisles just waiting for their gender sensibilities to be offended?

In reality, hardly any. Churches are just the latest of our institutions to be infected by this insanity.
There is madness in this Methodism.
