Sophy Ridge Outsmarts Jonathan Gullis As Tory Botches Rwanda Scheme Blame Game

Jonathan Gullis

recently aired a debate between Sophy Ridge and Jonathan Gullis. During an episode of Sky News, Sophy Ridge and Jonathan Gullis engaged in a lively discussion.

The recently appointed deputy chairman of the Tory party, Jonathan Gullis, has found himself in an awkward position. He has expressed his disappointment towards peers and the Labour Party for voting against the well-known deportation scheme for Rwanda. However, it was revealed that he was not completely in support of the scheme himself.

Gullis chose not to vote when the Safety of Rwanda Bill was up for its second reading in December. Many members of the Conservative party were unhappy with the bill because they felt it didn't do enough.

The MP for Stoke-on-Trent was reminded of his past actions during an interview with Sophy Ridge on Sky News. He had been given a prominent role in his political party the day before, but this incident from his history resurfaced.

Gullis expressed frustration towards the Labour members in the House of Lords, as well as Labour MPs and Sir Keir Starmer in the House of Commons. According to Gullis, they have continually obstructed efforts to implement the Rwanda policy.

Ridge promptly interrupted, "However, did you not choose to refrain from voting on the issue of Rwanda?"

Fully aware of his decision not to vote, Gullis explained that he supported the bill's passing and didn't want to obstruct it in any way. He suggested amendments instead.

Ridge made it clear that he did not support the Rwanda scheme through his vote and he acknowledged that he was just as troublesome as the individuals he was condemning. To this, Gullis retorted that he had not obstructed the Rwanda scheme on over 90 occasions like the Labour party did.

"However, you did not participate in the voting for Rwanda, isn't it?"

The proposed law that hopes to bypass the setback of the Supreme Court decision to halt Rwanda deportation flights is currently in a state of delay due to disagreements in Parliament. The House of Lords has refused to support the crucial legislation, but the Members of Parliament in the House of Commons have repealed those changes and sent it back to the Lords, leading to a back-and-forth process.

Rishi Sunak's plans to begin deportation flights during spring have been thwarted.

Almost two years ago, Britain and Rwanda signed an agreement that states that migrants who cross the English Channel in small boats will be sent to Rwanda, where they will stay permanently. However, since the deal was made, no migrant has been relocated to Rwanda.

Sunak's vow to "end the boats" that bring illegal immigrants to the UK rests on his strategy. His theory suggests that by expelling individuals who seek asylum, it will discourage others from taking dangerous voyages and disrupt the people-trafficking operations. In 2023, nearly 30,000 individuals traveled to Britain onboard small boats.
