Rishi Sunak promises Rwanda migrant flights before 15 July | LBC analysis

"It means we're not going to get a summer election."
James O'Brien and LBC's political editor Natasha Clark dissect the Prime Minister's press conference on the Rwanda scheme.
Rishi Sunak has said the first deportation flights to Rwanda will leave "in 10 to 12 weeks", hours before MPs are due to vote on his emergency legislation.
The Prime Minister told reporters that the government has "an airfield on standby and booked commercial charter planes".
"No ifs, not buts, these flights are going to Rwanda," the prime minister said.
He indicated that once the programme in up and running the planes there will be a "regular rhythm" of flights heading to Kigali.
Mr Sunak said today: "Enough is enough. No more prevarication, no more delay. Parliament will sit there tonight and vote no matter how late it goes. No ifs, no buts. These flights are going to Rwanda.
"Describing the plan as an 'indispensable deterrent so that we finally break the business model of the criminal gangs and save lives.
"Starting from the moment that the Bill passes, we will begin the process of removing those identified for the first flight. We have prepared for this moment."
Mr Sunak's televised address comes hours before a parliamentary showdown on his flagship policy to stop the boats.
The emergency legislation is due to be voted on by MPs in the Commons and peers in the House of Lords, possibly well into the evening.
The controversial bill will return to the Commons after several rounds of parliamentary ping-pong, which has seen the Lords express their opposition to the proposals through a series of amendments the prime minister does not accept.
Mr Sunak vowed last week that today would be the day the bill finally got through parliament, telling reporters there would be "no more prevarication, no more delay".
He said both houses would sit as late into the night as needed to agree a version of the bill to pass into law.

Surely the way to get people on board is to show kindness and respect, not just an endless steam of vitriol that can only ever lead to upset. I used to think Bevan was a little over the top, but it turns out his famous quote is bang on the money, if not actually understated : "That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party that inflicted those bitter experiences on me.
