Tory saboteurs hoping to upend Rwanda scheme must realise election success hinges on stopping illegal migrants

Muppet show

HERE’S a message for Tory hard-liners plotting to upend Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda scheme and even his premiership: Let’s hope you enjoy Labour’s migrant solution.

Topple another PM and you will soon see just how unbothered Keir Starmer is by small boats — while you search for new careers suitable for ex-Tory MPs.

Any rebels thinking the party’s stock cannot sink lower should think again.

The public have not a single moment’s patience left for their incessant civil wars.

Scuttle the sole policy designed to stop illegal migration and expect electoral annihilation.

The Sun has long backed a deterrent to render the people-smugglers’ business worthless.

So have many others.

Starmer’s failure to produce a credible alternative is because there isn’t one.

Rwanda will either work or it won’t.

Back it and see.

If it fails, the PM will face the consequences.

Defeat it and reap the whirlwind.

Covid ego-fest

IF Boris Johnson had personally strangled kiddies he could not have been treated with greater contempt by the preening lawyers at Day 2 of his Covid show-trial.

What a ridiculous charade it was as, first, his every flip remark during the hideous maelstrom of 2020 was disingenuously examined as if it was firm policy.

And then as a battery of showboating new lawyers queued for their moment on live TV to harangue the Brexit champion and ex-PM they plainly despise.

We understand victims’ families want “justice”.

Even so why waste time, at an inquiry to learn vital lessons for the future, re-examining Partygate?

Boris was booted from power, even from politics, and apologised time and again.

What more are the lawyers hoping for?

And as for him “letting the virus rip” . . . well, he didn’t.

Each day this probe looks yet more like a scandalous waste of £200million.

Woke jokes

ALMOST any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during God Save the King than ­stealing from a poor box.

George Orwell wrote that sentence in 1941.

It is ten times as relevant in 2023.

Patriotism sickens the Left.

So we should not be surprised left-wing Bristol University axed the national anthem.

We don’t even really blame the woke students.

They have an affliction they may yet grow out of.

The fault lies with the uni chiefs and staff.

Some still think like teenagers.

The rest buckle to woke bullying because they long to be trendy and fear a ­Twitterstorm if they stand firm.

Our schools and unis — and indeed our public and private sectors — are all infested with needy, weak leaders ­terrified of social media “shame”.

What a disaster.
