Entire Conservative Cabinet Knew Rwanda Bill Would Not Work, Says Robert Jenrick

by Will Jones
30 October 2024 8:09 PM

Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet, in its entirety, knew that the Rwanda Bill would not work, Robert Jenrick has said, but they all turned a blind eye, leading him to quit as Immigration Minister. The Telegraph has the story.

The Tory leadership hopeful said on Tuesday night that every Minister “turned a blind eye” to weaknesses in the Bill, which was intended to deport asylum seekers to the east African country.

No one was ever deported under the scheme apart from four migrants who went to Rwanda voluntarily.

Mr. Jenrick resigned as Immigration Minister in December last year because measures he had proposed to strengthen the Bill were rejected by Mr. Sunak.

He told Sky News: “There was a choice for me at the time: take a Bill through Parliament which I knew didn’t work and which, frankly, everyone in Cabinet knew didn’t work; or leave the Government and make the case in Parliament, where I was honest with myself and with the public.”

Mr. Jenrick was then asked to clarify whether everyone in the Cabinet, which included Mr. Sunak and then-Home Secretary James Cleverly, believed it would fail.

“I think everybody involved in that decision knew perfectly well that that policy was not going to succeed, but they turned a blind eye to it,” he said.

“I wasn’t willing to be a minister like that.”

Worth reading in full.

Let’s put all this in perspective. And it couldn’t be done better than this, Tucker Carlson interviewing (46 minutes) Dr Peter McCullough: https://www.bitchute.com/video/YHJ5XURJrhUY/

Thanks for the link. Excellent interview, everyone should be ‘mandated’ to see and listen to this , rather than take a vaccine.
‘Something big and dark is going on around the world’, I think he said this 6 times.

NB I hadn’t realised Queensland had made taking HCQ illegal in April 2020! I knew UK and France Govts seperately had taken all the stocks available in their countries by Feb 2020 but I don’t think either had actually made its use illegal until some months afterwards.
Anyone knowing the timelines of many aspects of this, cannot but see the planning involved.
McCullough mentions fear being the motive, but he also makes it clear through the way he uses his language that he no longer believes that is true.
We are watching pure evil at work.

Indeed, he was careful not to go full conspiracy but he knows it’s there, because I’m in correspondence with him, through Doctors4CovidEthics (the group of which I, part who has written several open letters to the EMA, warning of blood clots, before they paused the AZ vaccine (because of blood clots).

It’s a superb interview, as much for Dr McCullough’s evidence as for Carlson getting animated.

Clown world. They spent all week arguing on where to host the European Cup final only to move it to somewhere you won’t be able to visit until the 30th May? What was the point of that…?

That is the trouble with turning on the fear spigot – it is hard to turn it off.

Aren’t the footie fans being ‘bubbled’ into Porto? Or is that the other final in Gdansk (where UK travellers are definitely not permitted to go)? In any case, that would work. I expect the locals will be getting themselves bent out of shape over it all, though; as well as the locals here about people ‘bringing covid back into the country’.

Apart from anything else, governments’ reactions to this bloody thing has set international relations back centuries. Chinese, Brazilians, Indians … who are we supposed to ‘hate’ next?

This gives me a sliver of hope. Our Government says we can go, their Government says we can’t. Our Government wants vaccine passports, Spain’s tourism minister says they don’t need passports or even a test. France and Germany have a lot of vaccine hesitancy, so that’s good for us. May the confusion continue I say, so that none of it works, ever!
