John McDonnell asks Suella Braverman to tone down her “inflammatory language” as it is putting asylum seekers, & the people who represent them, at risk.

Irresponsible extremist Braverman completely ignores his important request concerning her dangerous & divisive rhetoric.

Patrick Grady asks Braverman if she's ever met anyone who came to the UK on a small boat to ask about their hopes for the future, or look them in the eye & say they are not welcome.

Braverman completely ignores his question & says the bill provides a pragmatic solution.

Tommy Sheppard asks Braverman to confirm that it is the Govt’s intention to provoke exclusion from the Council of Europe (which oversees the ECHR) & says the bill is “vile & shameful”.

Braverman ignores the ECHR question & makes the absurd claim that the bill is 'compassionate'.

Khalid Mahmood says this plan is unworkable & is purely political, aimed at winning red wall seats, “at the expense of xenophobia & racism”.

Brass-necked Braverman says it is irresponsible to say anyone who wants to control migration numbers is racist. Mahmood didn't say this.

Joanna Cherry says the courts are going to find these measures contrary to international law & the European convention on human rights, & asks if the government intends to fight the next GE promising to withdraw from the ECHR.

Braverman ignores her question & mentions Rwanda.

Diane Abbott says she deplores Braverman’s attempt to try & smear immigrants as murderers & rapists & says her plans are “deplorable & unworkable”.

Braverman says it's wrong to conflate people coming here legitimately with those coming to the UK illegally. Abbott didn't do this.

Stuart C McDonald says there is no such thing as an illegal asylum seeker, & asks if Sunak will tell Macron that the UK would be willing to leave the ECHR.

Braverman ignores his question & criticises the Scottish Govt for not housing more asylum seekers.

Yvette Cooper says the Govt has promised to address this problem before, & the Bill risks making things worse.

Braverman accuses Cooper of “hysteria, histrionics & criticism” & lies by saying Labour don't want to stop small boats as they think it is “bigoted” to think like that.

Paula Barker says if Rwanda can only take 200 people, what will happen to the 44,000 other asylum seekers.

Dangerously irresponsible & delusional extremist Braverman says she is proud of the Rwanda deal & thanks fellow extremist Priti Patel for the work on the scheme.

Luke Pollard asks if LGBT asylum seekers may be sent back to countries where they may be persecuted, or if they will be sent to #Rwanda, where LGBT people face discrimination.

Braverman says if people are claiming asylum from a safe country, they should not be coming to the UK.

Pig-ignorant ideologically extreme nationalist Scott Benton says it is “completely unacceptable” that a foreign court can constrain what the government does & talks about 'interference' from 'foreign judges'.

Pig-ignorant ideologically extreme nationalist Jonathan Gullis says his constituents would welcome the Bill even more if the Govt said it'd derogate from the ECHR, & asks when hotels in his constituency will be cleared of asylum seekers.

Braverman ignores the hotels question.

Pig-ignorant ideologically extreme nationalist David Jones tells a grotesque outright lie when he says the bill is advocating the “correct & humane” approach. There is nothing humane about it. Braverman says he is “absolutely right”.

Pig-ignorant ideologically extreme nationalist Simon Clarke asks Braverman to commit to leaving the ECHR if the bill is frustrated.

Braverman says the Govt THINKS this bill is in line with international obligations.

Pig-ignorant ideologically extreme nationalist #30pLee claims that Starmer said, when asked if foreign murders & rapists should be deported, that it depended on the circumstances (which it obviously does).

Braverman says Lee's right to point out Labour's "shameless position".

Pig-ignorant ideologically extreme nationalist Nicolas Fletcher tells a grotesque outright lie, reminiscent of every fascist in British history, claiming that 'the UK is full'.

Braverman says he is right to say illegal migration is putting unsustainable pressures on the UK.
