Green light for Rwanda flights?
The government moves a step further with plans to send asylum seekers abroad.
Today, we look at a government win in the Commons with plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Adam and Chris talk through what this means for Sunak’s flagship policy, who the Tory rebels were, and what the Rwandan president said about the plans.
But what happens now the bill has passed? Legal correspondent Dominic Casciani tells us whether courts will ever allow flights to take off.
Plus, we hear from a listener with a very special piece of political memorabilia. Do you have any political memorabilia you want to share with us? Email newscast@bbc.co.uk or send us a Whatsapp 03301239480.
