Just heard it reported on a news channel that the 'plan was to send failed asylum seekers to Rwanda'.

That was not the plan.

The plan was to allow Rwanda to decide whether or not an asylum claim was valid.
The claim would be decided in Rwanda and successful claimants would remain in Rwanda.

They would not then be returned to the UK as some MPs appear to have believed.
Afhgans, Syrians and Yemenis who come to the UK would be sent to Rwanda.

If successful they would remain in Rwanda.

The Supreme Court cited evidence that *100%* of claims from Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen were rejected by Rwanda's Refugee Status Determination Commitee 2020-22

One of the biggest cheers in Rishi Sunak's speech was his pledge to deliver an "A1 upgrade" (with scrapped HS2 funds).

Is this a new announcement?

No.

In fact, the story of the A1 upgrade under successive Conservative Prime Ministers truly is remarkable..🧵
It is best told by the @ChronicleLive who produced an astonishing timeline, outlining the number of times the project was promised, halted, promised and then halted again.

@ChronicleLive For the Tories, it begins in 2010, when they promise to dual the A1 if elected.

The following timeline is something to behold..

NEW: Nicola Sturgeon telephoned Humza Yousaf to give him a ‘heads up’ the night before her shock resignation.

Kate Forbes, who was on maternity leave, says she was ‘oblivious’ when the news broke and ‘quite happy in that way.’
@Channel4News
In her resignation speech @NicolaSturgeon said:‘If you’re one of the small number who, merely because I wouldn’t have been able to tell you without crying over the last 24 hours, I didn’t phone but texted this morning just before the news broke, know you’re one of those friends.’
Very few people were given advance notice of the news and fewer still got a call from @NicolaSturgeon the night before her announcement.

The resignation shocked the Scottish political world and candidates have been scrambling to put campaigns together.

NEW: Kate Forbes tells @Channel4News she would have voted against equal marriage.

But as First Minister she will not 'row back on rights that already exist.'
Kate Forbes, who hopes to replace @NicolaSturgeon as First Minister, says 'marriage being between a man and a woman' is what she practices.

She cites the example of Angela Merkel as a leader who voted 'with her conscience'.
Kate Forbes: 'I don't support self-identification.'
