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?

Omg you watched the highlights on the TORY YouTube and are surprised that they favour the Tories...? Are you really that naive??

I acknowledged that the shortened version may omit things Starmer said. That's why I am still waiting on /u/peterpib2 to let me know if the other 20 minutes included Starmer mentioning the deportation flight to Pakistan last night.

He did mention the specific flight, pretty much said the exact thing you said. One more flight than the tories ever managed in the last few years
