00:28 Hello and welcome to the Full English, a show that combines politics with not, facing a

00:32 constant crisis over my leadership. The same cannot be said for British SUNAC, who now

00:37 has the same approval ratings as Boris Johnson did when he quit. Let's get into it.

00:44 This week the government won a vote on its new Rwanda Bill, but only after the so-called

00:48 five families of children/Tory MPs decided to abstain rather than vote against it. They

00:54 want the legislation to be made even tougher. The thing is, ministers are already worried

00:59 it's so extreme it might be illegal. Mr SUNAC has said he will listen to these concerns,

01:03 but this just shows how weak he is. No serious politician meets with Marc François. I mean,

01:10 what year is it? What these rebels seem to be ignoring, aside from international law,

01:15 is the impact of voting down legislation has been made a confidence issue for the Prime

01:19 Minister. If they block this in the new year, which they could, the final throw of the dice

01:24 on stopping the votes will be over. And if they don't, it could still be illegal and

01:28 over anyway. The Prime Minister, with his Rwanda legislation, has made a rod for his

01:33 own back, and one that is looking increasingly likely it will cause his end. I mean, he's

01:39 going to lose the next election anyway, but this is, you know, we're speeding up the

01:42 process, we're just, you know, skipping to the end. That's what we learned. The

01:47 Tory MPs are capable of nicknames even sillier than when they called themselves the Spartans.

01:52 And secondly, these hardcore Brexiteers want to feel important more than they want to win.

01:57 Until next time, the final time, I've been Alexander Brown, and you haven't.
