it could be a long night for mps in the house of commons and peers in the house of lords, because of the latest stand—off over the government's rwanda bill. but it is expected to clear its final parliamentary hurdle in the early hours. the ping pong will end. and when it does, rishi sunak claims this will then happen immediately. starting from the moment the bill passes, we will begin the process of removing those identified for the first flight. cat was at a press conference earlier in anticipation of the bill being passed. he claimed the "drumbeat" of multiple flights each month would begin in ten to 12 weeks — sojuly — the summer — definitely not the spring which he'd previously promised. he blamed the delay on "labour peers in the house of lords". labour say the government were trying to make "grubby political capital out of a delay". let's talk to nick who's at westminster. what's happening? as you said, mps are voting right now on the last house of lords amendment we have on this, when we started out with ten and we now have one. this is the lord hope amendment and the
