Now weve got an absolute ton of stuff to get through today, so lets get cracking. And nearly two years cracking. And nearly two years after then home secretary Dame Priti Patel first announced the migrant deal with rwanda is the end, finally, finally in sight. While mp5 are debating the bill right now , you have live right now, you have live pictures there from the house of commons. You can see them debating this and thats after the house of lords once again rejected it last night. Well, im joined in our studio in westminster by our political edhon westminster by our Political Editor, christopher hope. Chris, editor, christopher hope. Chris, forgive me for sounding jaded. Forgive me for sounding jaded. Forgive me for sounding wary. Forgive me for sounding wary. Forgive me for sounding wary. Forgive me for sounding like ive been through this conversation a multitude of times before, but could today finally be the day the rwanda bill gets over the line . Well, i reported on here for your show a month ago that the day it will become law is tomorrow, and i still stand by that. I do think this is the third ping pong, ping pong, ping pong commons and the pong between the commons and the lords. Imagine a game of table tennis. This essentially this tennis. This is essentially this is part of our democracy that the commons are doing something which are not which the laws are not. Are not sure they want the sure about. They want the commons back and rethink commons to go back and rethink it commons said already it. The commons has said already twice, a third time today theyre to say sorry, your theyre going to say sorry, your changes not acceptable. Changes are not acceptable. Theres mp5 are theres four changes the mp5 are voting on. You saw in that clip there from the chamber right now, like, allowing people now, areas like, allowing people to military , to work with the uk military, afghans not to be flown to rwanda if they arrive here illegally. Others including that rwanda should be seen as safe rwanda should be seen as a safe country by an independent body. These are all according to the government. These are all ways government. These are all ways which will to stop which lawyers will use to stop flights taking off. Theyll use these little into this law, these little ways into this law, or when it becomes a law to stop flights being taken off with with Asylum Seekers back to rwanda. So thats why the government is so certain that it wont move on it. I think about 5 00 today, all those amendments will overturned by mp5 in will be overturned by mp5 in votes in the commons. It goes back to the lords. Then all eyes on the laws. The laws may well say, made our point. Say, okay, weve made our point. This rwanda act will go take this rwanda act will now go take go forward the Buckingham Palace probably tomorrow. And then the clock ticking on the 150 clock starts ticking on the 150 or so people who werent meant to to rwanda by plane. To be sent to rwanda by plane. And the is to get and then the idea is to get thousands taken off every year. But dont forget, labour wont exit, even if it does deter the people smugglers over the over from france. Two years and half £1 billion in not a single sausage has been flown to rwanda. You set that against the cost of the 5 billion cost of putting people up in hotels. So theres another side, other side of that ledger. Theres a big cost to rwanda, no question. Theres ledger. Theres a big cost to ricost a, no question. Theres ledger. Theres a big cost to ricost ofno question. Theres ledger. Theres a big cost to ricost of having. Tion. Theres ledger. Theres a big cost to ricost of having them theres ledger. Theres a big cost to ricost of having them in theres ledger. Theres a big cost to ricost of having them in hotels. A cost of having them in hotels. And think the government and i think the government should two should have way off the two costs working rwanda costs and working out net rwanda is the labour party are is better. The labour party are calling one most calling it one of the most expensive elephants expensive White Elephants in political history. Expensive White Elephants in poland. History. Expensive White Elephants in poland. Iguess the real fun and i guess the real fun starts when passes. And starts when it passes. And i hate brexit, but hate to mention brexit, but im going it. My show. Going to do it. Its my show. Brexit started. Brexit started. The fun started when the law was and then the lawyers was passed and then the lawyers go to the judiciary, go at it. We yesterday mental we reported yesterday the Mental Health, the physical health, the endangerment of Asylum Seekers. They were okay when they were fleeing a war zone. But when they get put up in a hotel in rwanda, lawyers will be rwanda, the lawyers will be licking stop them licking their lips to stop them taking know taking off. Chris, i know i mentioned it every time , but do mentioned it every time, but do you think your pint beer, you think your pint of beer, that had with the prime that bet you had with the Prime Minister, rishi sunak, you said a person take off a Single Person wont take off before general before the next general election. Think youll be election. Do you think youll be as that beer is safe . As safe that beer is safe . I think because i struck that bet september , for the may bet in september, for the may with my was the may with in my mind was the may election may the 2nd. Yes. I think no flights take off before may the 2nd. I think some might take off in june. You think theyll take off before election . Before the general election . If its windsor in its a windsor election in november . Yeah. Yeah. It be enough if that will it be enough if that starts happening . And they say, look, on it, it look, we made good on it, it might be imperfect plan, but might be an imperfect plan, but we our will we were good for our word.

You look planning, if you look at the planning, they planning 30,000 or so they are planning 30,000 or so people rwanda people being flown to rwanda over five years. The first over over five years. The first thing first five years of thing is the first five years of the operation. So the operation. The scheme. So over a period i think it might well part the problem, well work. Part of the problem, right that the home right now is that the home office the Hotels Office managed the hotels budget, that budget is paid budget, but that budget is paid for from the aid budget controlled by the foreign office. Home office have office. So the home office have no to keep that no real need to keep that that leader cost of the leader on it. On the cost of the hotels. Leader on it. On the cost of the hot okay.

Hes the former chief immigration officer of uk border force. Kev, welcome to the show. Always a pleasure. You the show. Always a pleasure. You heard there from chris hope. The law should finally creek its way over the line. The big question is kev, do you think a single flight will ever take off . Oh yes, i think i think its almost certain if we get the legislation through this week. Legislation through this week. Yes it will, it will happen. The home office have already identified the people they want to remove to rwanda, so it will just be a question of sorting out how and when. Out how and when. And when do you think those flights might take off . We were going on a may election here. Get those flights off by may. Were looking something later now. And more of a full time election. Maybe even the end of the how typically, the year. How soon . Typically, kevin, you think this gets kevin, do you think if this gets passed law, just say it gets passed in law, just say it gets passed in law, just say it gets passed month do passed this week. What month do you see flights get you think well see flights get off ground . June. You think well see flights get off itllground . June. You think well see flights get off itll be jnd . June. You think well see flights get off itll be asi . June. You think well see flights get off itll be as soon e. You think well see flights get off itll be as soon as that. The itll be as soon as that. The mechanics are all in place. It mechanics are all in place. It just needs the green light from the from parliament and the home office will be off and running. Wow. Im joined in the studio by chris hope. Hes got a question for you. Kevin. Yeah. Kevin, i just wondered what your old friends in the border force were saying to you. Do they might actually they think this might actually work labour work despite what the labour party saying . Work despite what the labour paroh, saying . Work despite what the labour paroh, yes. Ng . Work despite what the labour paroh, yes. Yeah. The general oh, yes. Yeah. The general feeling on the ground is this will work because its a deterrent. There must be a deterrent. There must be a deterrent. Everybody except the deterrent. Everybody except the labour party have agreed there needs to be a deterrent. Even the ncaa say there needs to be a deterrent. So this will be the deterrent. So this will be the deterrent and you will find if this works, other countries are going to jump in on it as well. So it wont just be rwanda where there are we now know of at least three other countries which have been named , which are which have been named, which are looking at taking, a chunk of this as well. So, yeah, this is going to work. The next question, of course, kevin , is and you will know kevin, is and you will know this, from your time at border force , the ngos, the charities,
