Labour MP brands Tory Minister embarrassing after TV blunder
Shadow Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds described a government minister's appearance on Question Time as "incredibly embarrassing" after he appeared to ask if Rwanda and Congo were different countries.
When discussing the government policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, policing minister Chris Philp responded to an audience memberâs question during the BBC One programme by asking: âRwanda is a different country of Congo, isnât it?â
Mr Reynolds said the Rwanda scheme has caused "significant damage to the reputation of the UK around the world." The government's Rwanda bill, which was passed in parliament last week, says any asylum seeker entering the UK "illegally" after 1 January 2022, from a safe country such as France, could be sent to Rwanda.

Jonathan Reynolds says he is âdelightedâ vital raw materials have arrived to keep the blast furnaces operating at British Steelâs plant in Scunthorpe. Speaking at nearby Immingham Port, the business secretary also hinted at concerns over future Chinese involvement in the steelworks following a clear âdifference of opinionâ with its previous owners.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds says the Conservative leader is wrong to say she had negotiated a modernisation plan with British Steel for electric arc furnaces at Teesside and Scunthorpe. Ms Badenoch posted on X on Friday saying as business secretary in the last Conservative government she had negotiated the proposal, but it was "bungled" by Labour. After intervening, Ms Badenoch says: "Labour cannot negotiate. We were negotiating a modernisation deal that would have had limited job losses, just like we had in Port Talbotâ. Report by Blairm.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has defended "unpopular" policies such as the cut to the winter fuel allowance despite Labour's poor performance at the local.. Sky News
In a seismic political shift, Nigel Farage's Reform UK has upended Britain's political landscape by securing 677 council seats and gaining control of 10 councils in the 2025 local elections. This unprecedented victory saw Reform UK surpass both Labour and the Conservatives, signaling a potential end to traditional two-party dominance. Farage's party also clinched a narrow parliamentary by-election win in Runcorn and Helsby. Capitalizing on public dissatisfaction over immigration, economic policies, and governance, Reform UK's rise reflects a broader populist trend reshaping British politics.

President Trump has ignited controversy after stating undocumented immigrants should be deported without trials. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump claimed the court system can't handle the volume and falsely accused countries like Congo and Venezuela of dumping criminals into the U.S. His remarks challenge the Constitutionâs guarantee of due process, drawing fierce backlash from lawmakers and legal experts. Critics are calling it "dictator talk," warning it could set a dangerous precedent. The Supreme Court has already pushed back against similar efforts, and the political fallout is growing fast.
