Masterful leadership there. Let the EU sort out their own problems.
Meanwhile a tent city is growing outside Irish government buildings! I can see why the Irish government is copying Rishi’s lead in using legislation to circumvent activist courts and declare that the U.K. is safe!

so, he's given the green light to Macron that the UK won't try to send asylum seekers back to France?

Seems to be doing well to me Strutter. Dunno what Ireland can do now except press the eu to do a returns deal with us!

Let’s see what actually happens bearing in mind the point sumo makes so well about the wider implications.
Also his track record for good political calls isn’t exactly in his favour here.
Like I said, he’s just terrible at politics.

‘Wider implications’ could be greater success for the hard / far right in next year’s Irish elections. Conor McGregor for Taoiseach, etc.

I'm loving this story
surely nothing happening this week could derail this "Rawanda is a success" line
we're talking a whole 8000 people (if the trend holds and these are actually people who would have come to the UK not ireland in the first place)
kinda sad that the UK is so economically on its arse that asylum seekers are choosing ireland though, bitter pill to swallow that

The Irish are losing their shit about Joe effective Rwanda is proving already. They need to pressure the EU to do more to stop the boats.

They are thinking of signing up to the Rwanda deal themselves now. That would be an unexpected bonus for Rishi.
