An occurrence of the latter scenario would simultaneously bring on both unbridled laughter and urinary incontinence here...

It would appear to be a pledge, not matter how obscenely MAGA-type it is, that's more suited closer to a general election.
No local councils will be building deportation camps.
Zia is (as ever) treating his electors as chumps.

Apparently, since they are proposing to round up and deport 240,000 immigrants, they want to build a number of new “detention centres”. They are saying that they won’t build any such centres in areas that have elected a Reform MP, or where they are in control of the local authority. Instead, they want to build their new concentration camps- sorry, detention centres, only in areas that have dared to elect Green Party MPs or where the Greens control the local council. A sort of punishment, one supposes. Not quite sure why they’ve singled out the Greens, but this is fucking outrageous, and I suppose, calculatedly so.
