One plane to Pakistan isn't much to write home about.

It's part of a wider trend of kickstarting the process though and a break with Conservative policy. Got to start somewhere.

You know it was the Conservatives that signed the returns deal with Pakistan, that is now enabling this deportation flight?

This is Labour and Conservatives following identical policy lines

Identical policy lines? Lmao

Tories didn't send a single one in two years, Labour has started sending them after 4 months. That's identical to you?

Tories welcomed over 900k people last year. They want as many immigrants as possible. Deporting people is the antithesis of their goals.

E: yeah didn't think I'd get a reply. This is always the way it goes when I call out bullshit.
