PM’s rejection of Ireland’s ­hilarious attempt to dump its migrants on Britain was as instant and blunt as we hoped

Rishful thinking

RISHI Sunak’s rejection of Ireland’s ­hilarious attempt to dump its migrants on Britain was as instant and blunt as we hoped. Good on him.

The Irish do like a laugh. What other explanation can there be?

EU member France refuses to take back illegal migrants who sail here — even though it would kill the evil cross-Channel trade overnight and end any need for the Rwanda scheme.

But fellow EU member Ireland somehow believes WE must take back those now making their way from the UK to Dublin to avoid deportation to Rwanda.

A pointless new law will apparently enforce it.

How? Britain won’t allow it.

And since, at EU insistence, the Irish border remains open and unguarded post-Brexit, migrants can come and go as they please. The irony is delicious.

Labour still pretends Rwanda will deter no one despite, as Ireland admits, already doing so even before its launch.

And Keir Starmer would scrap this sole deterrent “even if it works”.

Imagine how impotent we would then be: Wide open to more and more small boats — and with no deportation threat to steer them elsewhere.

Can Labour really sustain this hopeless position come election time?

Sanity prevails

AT long last the era of transgender lunacy in the NHS could be at an end.

One day we will look back on health chiefs renaming women as “people with ovaries” or breastfeeding as “chestfeeding” as the madness it so obviously is.

Women’s rights and identities have been trumped by trans rights . . . erased, even, for woke gender-neutral ideology.

It meant male-bodied transwomen being treated on women-only wards.

And women potentially having intimate examinations carried out by transwomen. That is wholly wrong.

It is a jaw-dropping disgrace that this happened in the NHS and staggering that it happened under Tory rule.

The Cass review has struck a vital and game-changing blow for sanity against wokery.

A rewritten NHS constitution announced today should match it for significance.

Every trust must follow it.

The Tories have been in power for 14 years. Why did this take so long?

End of an error

HUMZA Yousaf was a bungling fantasist to the bitter end.

How could he have thought the juvenile “Scottish Greens” would take being sacked from his coalition lying down?

As for independence being “frustratingly close”, what cobblers.

It looks more distant now than ever. Dead, even.

We must hope for a new Scottish leader not fixated on woke guff, Gaza and breaking up Britain.

And more focused on reversing the decline inflicted by the SNP on Scotland.
