The Spin

Left narrative

Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda plan is an inhumane piece of legislation that his government is looking to pass as a vanity project ahead of this year’s elections. If Sunak's goal was to create the most dehumanizing and inefficient plan to tackle asylum seekers, then he couldn't have done a better job. However, from a political perspective, he has failed. Sunak has made it clear that he doesn't care about migrants living in the UK and doesn't care if people's family members and friends are shipped to an unsafe place.

Right narrative

Tackling the migrant crisis in the UK is one of Britain's top priorities, however, Rishi Sunak has utterly failed his constituents by proposing a weak and wasteful plan that will do little to actually protect the nation. It's unfortunate that a Conservative prime minister has done so little to meaningfully address a migrant crisis, and it seems like Sunak is pushing legislation that he knows will fail. Conservative Brits know that the Tories are failing them, and it is time for a real UK-first movement to supplant the milquetoast Sunak regime.

Pro-establishment narrative

This bill has been a long-awaited solution to help stem a tide of unsustainable immigration to the UK. Even with revisions and legal challenges, deportations will start in the next two months with support from Rwanda.
