Why Sunak is choosing to die on the hill of the daft and failing "Stop the Boats" policy to appease the Tory nutcases and annoy everyone else is just hilarious.
It has failed and as your stats prove it will never work and it is a waste of resources.
It's because he's fundamentally not very good at politics.
There's fuck all legislation going through parliament, there's the Rwanda bill and that's about it. MPs are reporting that they've nothing to do when parliament is in session:
Rishi Sunak accused of presiding over a ‘zombie parliament’

""There’s very little going on day to day,” conceded one Conservative minister. A Labour insider argued some prime debating slots in the chamber were being dedicated to “niche” issues to fill time.
On Tuesday last week the Commons adjourned at 3.53pm, while on one Monday earlier this month almost five hours were dedicated to an unfocused “general debate on farming”, critics pointed out.
The FT analysis used parliamentary data going back 27 years — the data is available online — as well as Commons Library research.
Between 1997 and 2023 the average was 7 hours and 58 minutes — or 49 minutes longer than in the current session, the analysis showed. The peak was 9 hours and 15 minutes in the 1998-99 session of Tony Blair’s first administration.

In the King’s speech last November, the government unveiled 21 bills it hoped to pass in this parliamentary session, which will end when Sunak calls a general election, which must happen by January 28, 2025.So far this session ministers have introduced 26 bills and passed four, while also supporting a raft of private members’ bills to make progress.
The tally of planned public bills in the latest King’s speech was lower than in Queen’s speeches at the beginning of other recent parliamentary sessions.In the previous three sessions, commencing in May 2022, May 2021 and December 2019, the number of new and carried over bills was 37, 29 and 29 respectively. The total number of bills that received Royal Assent by the end of those sessions was 67, 47 and 54."
Not only is he focused on a plan that will almost certainly fail miserably, they're doing fuck all else while crisis after crisis stacks up.
