More than half of Britons believe the Conservative Party made the wrong decision by backing Boris Johnson’s prime minister in a no-confidence vote earlier this week, according to a poll. Johnson described his victory as “decisive”, despite the fact that he won the ballot with 211 votes against 148. But critics say the prime minister has been eyeing a revolt against his position that has far exceeded the expectations of his allies – failing to ask questions about his leadership. On Friday, an Ipsos poll found that 51 percent of Britons believe lawmakers dissolved in retaining the prime minister, a figure that includes one in four Conservative voters in 2019. And, overall, 36 percent said they made the right decision. Earlier, the government’s top social mobility chief described Johnson as “not a good role model” for children. Katherine Birbalsingh, chair of the Social Mobility Committee, suggested that although she liked the prime minister, his personal life made her “raise an eyebrow” and wondered if she looked professional enough.

Rwanda’s policy is a chaotic diversion, says Starmer
Sir Keir Starmer called the government’s plan for Rwanda a “chaotic diversion” and said Labor would form “a proper plan with the French authorities” to tackle human trafficking. When asked what Labor’s alternative to politics would be, he said: “I think it is very important that we all say, loud and clear, that we do not want anyone to make this dangerous passage through the Channel. “We do not want these smugglers to make a profit from their business and we must pursue them hard. “This includes working with the French authorities, working upstream to deal with the criminals behind it. “The Rwandan government’s plan is a chaotic, thoughtless diversion plan that will not solve the problem.” Jane Dalton June 10, 2022 2:30 p.m. 1654866920
Johnson condemns the “false condemnation” of Britons facing the death penalty
Boris Johnson has condemned the “fake” trial of two Britons sentenced to death by Russian authorities for fighting in Ukraine, as the government comes under pressure to secure their release. Downing Street said the prime minister was “terrified” by the sentencing of Eden Aslin and Sean Piner, write Ashley Cowburn and Adam Forrest. Sir Keir Starmer condemned the sentences, saying he agreed with the government’s approach to securing their release. “I fully condemn the action taken against the two Britons who are involved and should be treated as prisoners of war. “The government is right about this and I think it is very important to say that there is no partisan politics in this – we condemn as one what is happening here and demand in the strongest possible terms that they be treated as prisoners of war.” he said.

Labor will oppose the Troubles legislation
Sir Keir Starmer says Labor will oppose controversial legislation to address the legacy problems in Northern Ireland. “We will be voting against this legislation because it does not have the support of any of the political parties here in Northern Ireland. “He does not have the support of victim groups here in Northern Ireland, some of whom told me themselves that they were not even consulted.” “And he does not have the support of the Irish government.” Jane Dalton June 10, 2022 1:25 PM 1654863020
The 10 plaques claim that Sunak wasted 11 11 billion
Downing Street has attacked a pool of speculation that Risi Sunak wasted 11 11 billion in taxpayers’ money by paying too much interest on public debt. A spokesman for No. 10 said: “It is simply not true, and the measures proposed would have enormous financial risks and would have undermined the independence of the Bank of England. “In particular, forcing commercial banks to exchange gold reserves undermines the independence of the Bank of England and would be an act of financial repression. “And the 11 11bn amount itself is based on an incredible case. “Reaching this number requires a perfect forecast of market prices. In fact, he says that two years ago you would have known exactly where the interest rate and the yields of the Bank’s bonds would be now “. Jane Dalton June 10, 2022 1:10 p.m. 1654862615
Labor will vote against the Protocol bill
Labor will vote against a government bill that would authorize ministers to circumvent parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol, says Sir Keir Starmer. Speaking in Belfast after talks with political leaders, the party leader said: “We will vote against the legislation that the government is putting before parliament. We think this is the wrong approach. “I do not pretend that there are no problems and challenges with the protocol, of course there are. “We listened to the political parties here, the communities, the business groups. I think these challenges can be overcome around the negotiating table with states with high levels of confidence. “It is this high level of confidence that this Prime Minister lacks, and I think he is wrong to follow the path of legislation that violates international law and, in fact, I think it will be an obstacle to negotiations that, in the end, they will resolve these difficult issues. “ Sir Keir confirmed that if he came to power, the Labor Party would repeal the proposed legislation to bypass parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol. He also called for “give and take” from both EU and UK negotiators. “We would repeal the legislation and I think there was a stalemate in the negotiations because we did not see the high levels of trust we need for negotiations like this, especially from our prime minister. “But we also need to give and take from both sides. The EU, as well as the United Kingdom, give and take, be flexible in approach. “I do not think that the remaining issues of the protocol can be resolved with a different approach, with this high level of trust, with an honest broker prime minister taking people around the table and negotiating what needs to be negotiated.” Jane Dalton June 10, 2022 1:03 PM 1654862360

Rory Stewart Trends on Twitter and Shares PM’s Post
Rory Stewart is a hot topic of discussion on Twitter, following the sentencing of Boris Johnson in BBC Question Time. “Sometimes it gets dirty to the right, sometimes to the left. “But always in the direction of his own interest,” said the MP, who was once the same party leader. The comment was widely shared. Mr Stewart also retweeted a post from an account that betrayed Mr Johnson after attacking the prime minister’s latest policy announcements as a distraction. “What about sending people to Rwanda, imperial measures, brick benefits … all the sensible policies that are sure to happen,” the parody said.
