Rwanda delayed: Will Sunak ever get planes off the ground?
Episode description
Rishi is making those naughty Lords stay in the chamber until they pass his Rwanda Bill without pesky amendments. That may come in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
But even once the legal hurdles are passed, the practicalities will still be fiendish. Why has the first plane date been delayed again? Which airline is willing to take on the legal risk? How do immigrants' 'inadmissability appeals' work? And why did the government slip out the 24% INCREASE on small boat arrivals during this morning's press conference?
Later, what actually happened in that encounter between the policeman and the antisemitism campaigner.
And - Huw Edwards resigns from the BBC - what happens now.
