Braverman tears aside Labour for ’empty rhetoric and countless noise’

“I say words because as ever that’s all you get from the Opposition. No serious alternatives, no credible plan, just empty rhetoric and endless noise.

“Last December the Prime Minister and I set out a plan to cease the boats. Since then we have been working flat out to ship that.

“What has the right honorable lady been up to? It’s hard to say. The question is will Labour ever bring forward a plan of their own? A plan with detail, a plan that delivers.

“The reply is, I’m sorry to say, they do not have a plan and so they truly do not care that they do not have a plan.”

Ms Braverman said the Conservatives are “coping with the priorities of the British folks”.

Ms Cooper added: “All we get is rhetoric, rhetoric whereas the truth will get worse. Demented assumptions, unworkable plans, empty spin.

“Instead of all the press conferences, we need a proper plan. The asylum system is broken, they broke it and there is still no plan today to sort it out.”

Elsewhere throughout the Commons session, Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson known as for deportation flights to Rwanda to get off the tarmac “as quickly as possible”.

He mentioned: “Sharing rooms and barges, and relying on the French is not the answer. I think we all know, anybody with common sense in this place knows what the answer is, and that is to get the flights off to Rwanda as quickly as possible.”

Ms Braverman replied: “We have now had a Court of Appeal hearing, we await judgment from the court and as soon as we complete the full legal process, we will ensure that flights take off as soon as possible.”
