Nat-C true believer Miriam Cates’s Rwanda comment explains why we won’t vote Tory any more
Miriam Cates: the mouth is flapping but the mind is vacant.
Miriam Cates is a true-blue National Conservative – or Nat-C, for short.
Like most Nat-Cs, she seems to subscribe to the belief that propaganda is always better than fact.
How else are we to explain her words about Rwanda during a Radio 4 interview?
Challenged on her claim that “Rwanda is a safe country”, she instantly changed her tune to the much lesser claim that “Rwanda is a country that we have a deal with”:
R4: "Rwanda is the kind of country from which we take asylum seekers."
Miriam Cates: "Rwanda is a safe country."
R4: "If that was the case we'd never take any asylum seekers from there."
Miriam Cates: "We need a deterrent and Rwanda is a country that we have a deal with." 🙄~AA pic.twitter.com/hlYI5kPYew— Best for Britain (@BestForBritain) January 16, 2024
So Rwanda isn’t safe and she admits it. Didn’t she – very recently – vote in support of a Tory Bill that insists Rwanda is safe?
Isn’t that knowingly presenting a falsehood to Parliament?
Oh dear. If this is the quality of a Conservative’s word, then I won’t be supporting her party at the next election. Who would?
