In case you missed it last night, here's the link to my conversation last night on the TNT show with John Drummond about the Rwanda policy, human rights, the EU, the need for a codified constitution and much more.

- I'm German and yes, 100% it was a Nazi salute. Every German will tell you that.
- So Boris Johnson and his wife spent £200,000 on new sofas and golden wallpaper, they spent over £27,000 on takeaway food over 8 months, they partied and drank fine wine at a time when people couldn't socialise and had to stay at home, and yet we're meant to just tolerate this?
- I just read that Kate had a wardrobe worth £35,000 on her Caribbean tour. There are many people in the UK who won't be able to pay their energy bills and who have to rely on foodbanks. Why do people tolerate the monarchy? It's such a stark symbol of inequality.
- In Germany the new Health Secretary is a medical doctor who's an absolute expert on Covid. In the UK, the Health Secretary is an ex-banker. I think that says more about the UK than Germany.
- For Suella Braverman to say that it's her dream to deport refugees to Rwanda by Christmas puts her to the right to the xenophobic AFD party in Germany. For any politician to say something like this is absolutely shameful. She has no place in Parliament.
- So Liz Truss thought it was fine to spend £1,400 on a lunch at a private member's club while her government was getting ready to take away £20 a week from people on universal credit. How do these people represent us?
- Jeremy Clarkson should lose all media work he currently has and the editor of the Sun needs to be sacked for inciting violence against women. Yes, let's put cancel culture in full motion!
- I have written a book about Rwanda.
- To all those Brits who say that Germans should apologise for their past. I have news for you: Germany has dealt with its past and it has ensured that the past won't be repeated. It's an open, inclusive and progressive society. Perhaps Britain should deal with its own past first.
- My student was fined £5,000 during lockdown. Boris Johnson was fine £50. Where is the fairness in that?
- I love living in London and Britain has been amazing to me in many ways. It's my home. But boy, England, you have a big,big problem with racism, xenophobia and misogyny combined with a disdain for intellectuals. You need to have an open national debate about it asap.
- The thing I'm going to enjoy most with Boris Johnson going down is Priti Patel no longer being Home Secretary.
- Hang on, If Priti Patel misled Parliament about the missing visa processing centre in Calais, doesn't she have to resign?
