Rishi Sunak has vowed deportation flights will happen ahead of a final push today to pass the bill designed to rescue the embattled Rwanda scheme. The home secretary will meet the Met chief as calls grow for him to quit over the treatment of an antisemitism campaigner.

But is that slogan a reminder of a promise, or a reminder of a failure?Calling a news conference to tell us all what you are doing to get this policy off the ground may seem rather unnecessary, but it is a warning shot to the Lords who have continued to stop the bill becoming law due to their concerns around its legality and protection of vulnerable people.
