I think this elucidates several things that some have long suspected, the main take is that people within politics, like Preston, are making equivalence between legitimate asylum seekers and people who are involved in criminality, a dangerous, racist and myopic view.
That despite claims by the Government to the contrary the Rwandan scheme is seen as penal rather than exculpational, this either shows incompetence in delivering the details of the policy or a more sinister and insidious motive of criminalising and punishing those with justifiable claims to be accepted.
That people like Preston are dog whistle politicians that will bend to whims rather than stand up for what they believe, the aim of modern politics has become a way of getting likes over making any real difference for too many.
And finally that the old adage of sometimes saying nothing and allowing people to think you're an idiot is a much better course of action than opening your mouth and proving it.
