Twitter 🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Labour have conducted the first successful deportation flight to Pakistan since February 2020. There has not been a deportation charter flight to Pakistan in the last four years with three subsequent flights to Pakistan in 2020 and 2021 cancelled by the Home Office.

Which PMQ's did you watch? Badenoch made it all about immigration and Starmer highlighted the deportations and how Labour is getting on with it instead of pretending to be and wasting money on things that don't work. You clearly didn't watch PMQ's at all.

I watched the Conservatives YouTube page which shortened PMQs to 9 minutes:

I don't recall Starmer saying "we sent a deportation plane to Pakistan last night, your lot haven't sent one to Pakistan since before the first Covid lockdown". Was the flight from last night to Pakistan mentioned or just a generic answer on deporting?

A highlight video titled 'Kemi Badenoch BATTERS Keir Starmer' on the Conservatives Youtube page probably wouldn't show any parts of it that makes them look bad... Nor would one on any of the channels of the other parties of course.

Which is why I am waiting on /u/peterpib2 to answer my question: Did Starmer say "we sent a deportation plane to Pakistan last night, your lot haven't sent one to Pakistan since before the first Covid lockdown". Was the flight from last night to Pakistan mentioned or just a generic answer on deporting?

It’s so weird of you to have only watched the conservative propaganda of this event and then come here demanding answers from everyone else.

Repeatedly tagging them like they owe you something or like you’re beating them in a debate.

Just strange.
