Rwanda policy found to be unlawful by Court of Appeal, next stop the Supreme Court in all likelihood but no-one is going to be sent to Africa any time soon.

They dont want to actually send people to Rwanda. It is all about looking like they are trying to do something, but keep getting stopped by those pesky leftie-lawyers. Whether the endgame is to actually remove the power of courts from blocking such things is up for debate, but I expect it is more about making it look like they are doing something when they are actually doing fuck all.

This is more about showing Mail and Express readers that they are trying to get rid of people than actually getting rid of them. Now they can blame those pesky judges for all the problems.

Yeah they can't be arsed going through the effort of actually changing the legal process so they'll just flap their arms for a year until the election

This. They'll drag this through the courts with no chance (or desire) of winning until the election where Labour will kill it, and they can bleat about betrayal, open borders and unlimited immigration.
It was always a 'policy' for headlines and nothing more.

It was intended to show people that they were indeed doing something crule to immigrants but, like the 'five pledges', its just humiliation after humiliation. Every time we hear about it, its about how much of a waste of money it is, its not deterring anyone and how they just lost another lawsuit. I can only think that some dunce is advising them that they would look worse if they gave up on it than if they continue to be humiliated week after week.

Would love to see what we're paying in legal fees for all this posturing/appeasement.

It was closing in on a million quid last October. So it will be way past that now.

It'd be interesting to see what the government has spent on frivolous activities like losing legal challenges against its own inquiries or policies, or paying for things like Boris' defence lawyers, since the last elections.
I wonder if it can be FOId?

add it to the £120 million already given to rwanda*. a sensible government might wait to see if the scheme was legal before giving £120m to the host country, but meh, other people's money.
that's gone - we don't get that money back when the government eventually exhaust all appeals

Unfortunately, the only recommendation is basically that the House of Commons deal with its shit, so they'll get a very minor telling off and nothing else and will be able to continue undermining the country from their positions of privilege and power. They can't. Committees can only recommend sanctions for stuff the house has asked them to investigate. On the plus side. Private member bills can table a motion to investigate this with a new committee. So it's not up to Sunak entirely. On Dorries. I believe her demand to do the GDPR FoI thing is pointless as the relevant legislation has a specific carve out for crown appointments. So I guess she'll stay on as an MP forever as nobody is ever giving her that info.

And I'm sure not a penny of that £120m has found its way into the bank accounts of related parties.

Farage is claiming his bank accounts are being seized by the establishment as an example of the highest level of political persecution. I'm no banker but usually banks wouldn't seize accounts unless they had a really good reason..

I don't think the banks can seize your money. They can close an account for any reason they want though. It's usually things like obvious money laundering or terrorist financing.
Farage's bank is (allegedly) Coutt though which has quite a high minimum balance. It's likely he just doesn't have the money anymore and so they've kicked him out.

What's funny is the amount of people buying into it thinking his accounts were closed because of his political views. "It can happen to any of us!" If you're accepting dirty money then yeh prob. It's the fact he revealed he went to open other bank accounts with about 6 other banks and they all refused too..

It's very funny, and exactly a consequence of the free market he claims to love. If a bank thinks that an association with him will damage their reputation they are absolutely free to turn him away.

His credit rating is in the toilet and this is far easier than admitting that to his fans.

Pretty funny to hear talk like "We should find out which bank it is and if any of any of us have an account we should do a run on it and withdraw" and its like oh you wish you were rich enough to afford the bank Farage uses.
Also bitcoin peddlers are doing their best to entice people to bank in it. Nothing shady about that!

Banks can freeze your accounts and are in fact legally bound to do so if they are not 100% sure where the money has come from. That might be the case here. It’s entirely possible he’s too poor for Coutts, but when I was at RBS the entry level for a Coutts account was £100k so he’d have to have fallen far indeed. He may well have.

On the subject - I've never had a credit card. Never needed it and the only thing I have "on credit" is my house and my student loan. But is it worth just getting one for consumer protection?

Ah ok. I've not heard of banks doing the actual seizure before though I guess there's no reason they couldn't if the order is still made by an authorised person. I'm still fairly new to the Financial Investigation world.
