Ithought Robert Jenrick News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

we've got our own show to make, so let's get on with this episode of newscast. newscast. newscast from the bbc. hello, it's james here in the studio in westminster. and it's chris in westminster, too. here we are, and one story that's dominated this week, chris, hasn't it, which has been this post office scandal? but there's one story going to dominate next week, i think, quite likely, in so much as we can forecast. what's that? it is rwanda. so it's the return of the conversation about how you deal with illegal migration. and the government is keen to have this idea of sending folk ...

Notjust because i think it's the right thing to do to bring down net migration, but it's also something that the public have been asking us to do, and too many governments have failed to deliver on those promises. you know, one of the reasons i left government, one of the things i'm now committed to doing, is to making that public argument that a different way is possible, that we as a party and as a country can work our way through this age of mass migration in a sensible, intelligent manner, not using incendiary language or, you know, populist policies, but trying to find ways of actually de...
