Two snippets from the news last week which are worth relaying and should enrage the woke left and their lawyers. Liz needs to get Patel back in the cabinet.
Asylum agreement
Copenhagen
Denmark is moving ahead with plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing. The country passed a law back in 2021 which would allow the government to set up an asylum centre outside the EU; now, the two nations are in talks about the “mechanism” by which a transfer of refugees could take place, Copenhagen announced this week. The countries’ declaration of mutual cooperation specifies that they are working together to enable asylum seekers to remain in Rwanda after processing. It’s not clear if they would be obliged to stay. If a deal is reached, it would make Denmark the first EU country to set up an offshore processing centre. Denmark’s ruling Social Democratic Party – led by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen – was elected on an anti-immigration agenda and has ambitions of a “zero” refugee policy. However, the government says it is simply trying to make the system “fairer”.

A right-wing anti-immigrant party with roots in the white nationalist movement has emerged as Sweden’s second biggest. The Sweden Democrats, led by Jimmie Åkesson (pictured), were expected to win 73 seats in this week’s election, after early counts gave them 21% of the vote. The party denounced Nazism and banned outright racism years ago, but is still regarded as unacceptable by some. The overall result was in the balance this week, but it looked as if the right-wing bloc might edge to victory over the incumbent centre-left coalition led by the Social Democrats.
