Hello and happy Sunday. Happy Sunday, one and all.

Hope you having a great day, great weekend. This is the two Matt's Q&A brought to you by the wonderful

subscribers of the New European. Should we get straight in, Matt? Let's go for it. First question comes

from Mr Paul Chapman. Paul writes, I'm a US citizen born in the UK. I'm therefore doubly horrified

to say that the Trump administration references the UK's Rwanda policy as both the Genesis

and cover for their current deportation policies. What do the maths think of that?

I'm ashamed. And I think that it's an incredibly important and underreported aspect of the whole

disgusting deportation strategy that Trump has started and is growing.

I mean, it's a funny thing that, you know, leaving aside the whole question of colonial legacy,

and healthcare and education for women.

And now it seems that we are exporting cruel deportation schemes.
