Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me, Steve Richards.

Thank you for tuning in.

And what a crazy week we are in the midst of and we need to all pay great attention to the

twists and turns to contextualize and make sense of it all.

We have reflected a great length already on the madness of so much political energy being sucked up over the issue

of whether this government can fly one flight to Rwanda of these poor sods who come over here

on boats before the general election. One flight will do the trick, you know, the photo of it going off, millions cheering, yeah.

And by the way, I'm told by some Labour MPs, it will lead to a kind of increase in support

for the Conservative candidates or MPs in their constituencies, candidates, if they're Labour MPs.

All political energy sucked up on that.

You kind of think, what the heck are we going through?

When if you look at the issues missing at the moment from our politics,

which are so clearly, more urgently required to be addressed,

and yet are just on the sidelines, if present at all.

I mean, when you think about it, there's a study to be done how at the end of this parliament

and this long serving government, a flight to Rwanda has become the be-all and end-all,

not social care, not the state of the railways and so on. Why, how have we got to this point? It's very interesting

and in a curious way I recommend this to you. I bet you're all going to say he's gone bonkers.

The state of Britain has turned him insane. But I've been reading Nadine Doris's book called Is It the Plot or something.

Now, for all the reasons you will have read in the reviews and on Twitter and stuff,

it is largely bonkers and strips away the obvious deep flaws of the Johnson period, of course, which incidentally,

Rwanda originated from that.
