but from the letter we have from robertjenrick himself, we have from robertjenrick himself, we have fromimself, we have a little bit more detail about the reasons behind this resignation. he said, i cannot continue in my position when i have such strong disagreements with the direction of the governments policy on immigration. as you know, i have been pushing for the strongest piece of emergency legislation to ensure that under the rwanda policy we remove as many small boat arrivals as swiftly as possible to generate the greatest deterrent effect. robertjenrick clearly feels that this current legislation doesn't go far enough. he says, i am unable to take the current legislation through the commons as i do not believe it provides us with the best possible chance of success. so clearly a challenge ahead for rishi sunak, the prime minister and his immigration plans. we will get plenty more reaction to this resignation of what it means for rishi sunak, what it means for the policy itself and what it means for the government ahead of an election next year. stay here for some updates on that.

that was from a few hours ago, | a few minutes ago we heard the news about robertjenrick.ou said, dramatic us. what's going on? as you said. robert — dramatic us. what's going on? as you said, robert jenrick, _ dramatic us. what's going on? as you said, robert jenrick, the _ said, robertjenrick, the immigration minister, his boss, james cleverly, wasjust immigration minister, his boss, james cleverly, was just on his feet in the comments as they were debating this new legislation to the government it's pushing through, and the minister was asked, have you lost your immigration minister, has he resigned? and his words were, "that has been confirmed." that's embarrassing for him because earlier at the beginning of the debate, everyone was watching to see if the home secretary would sit down to make a speech if robertjenrick would be next to him as a show that they were together on this issue— he did not turn up, rumours were then flying, the home secretary came under sustained attack from the opposition who were saying, has he resigned? "there's been rumours, where is he? he

it follows the resignation of immigration minister robertjenrick. he says the new law would still allow people arriving in small boats to challenge their deportation at the european court of human rights. our political correspondent damian grammaticus reports. it's nice to see you, have a good evening. why did you resign, sir? the answer is simple. nice to see you all, thanks very much. and it makes this a moment of perilfor rishi sunak. do you think the prime minister will be able to stop _ the boats, mr jenrick? as immigration minister, robertjenrick had vowed to see asylum seekers deported to rwanda — even after the supreme court ruled the plan unlawful. this was tuesday — on breakfast — praising the new rwanda treaty. that coupled with a strong piece of emergency legislation that we'll be bringing forward to parliament shortly, will, i hope, enable us to finally get the scheme up and running. at that moment, the home secretary was in rwanda signing the deal. by the time he made it back to london, mrjenrick — who was supposed to present accompany

robertjenrick were meant to be politicalallies. be political allies. it�*s a political blow because robertjenrick was meant to be taking this emergency legislation through the house of commons. but it turns out that in the end cambridge wins out, that�*s because robertjenrick and suella braverman have been good friends ever since they were at university together, and as we now know, they are on the same political planet. and just to get an idea of that, let us look at robertjenrick�*s resignation letter to the prime minister, and you can see there, he is saying, thank you for our discussions, you did move towards my position but then he says, i am unable to take the currently proposed legislation through the commons as i do not believe it provides us with the best possible chance of success. and then look at this. the bill you�*re proposing a triumph of hope over experience. we wait a few hours and then we got the response from the prime minister, and some of the language in that, if we look at that letter, is pretty strong. it say

and then when we read robertjenrick�*s letter, where he criticises the rwanda plan but doesn't reallyternatives that would work better, and actually he ends with a bit of a rhetorical flourish, it sounds like maybe he would quite like to be prime minister as well. should we should we not believe him? well, i think sort of both things can be true. i mean, i think from robertjenrick�*s perspective, he looked at this bill and just thought, can i authentically be the kind of face and voice for it and go out and take all the questions about it whilst believing in it? and concluded that the answer to that was no, because when the critique would have been put to him, that says, yeah, but hang on a minute, it's still going to get gummed up in the courts so are you really going to get very many people, if any, on a plane before the election? he couldn't conceivably say yes with any conviction because he didn't believe it himself. so in the end, that's just kind of, you know, just a policy dispute. he and suella braverman would say, look, the prime minister has to be much more bold around the w

some, including robertjenrick, arguing the bill should be tougher.at they make of this planned law. they are all back in their constituencies this weekend mulling how they will vote on it on tuesday. so i think while last week was a significant week for rishi sunak, next week potentially is an even more key one for his future, and a key test will be how many, if any, tory mps decide to vote against his new law on tuesday, or try to change it. and a warm up for all of this, he has to appear at the covid inquiry first on monday. ione wells at westminster, thank you. this is a dinosaur known as a tyrannosaur, and the remains of one found in alberta in canada have allowed scientists to learn more about how it developed as it grew. in its fossilised stomach they've discovered the hind leg bones of two baby dinosaurs it probably ate as its last meal, giving a better understanding of its eating and hunting habits. thousands of mourners have lined the streets of dublin to pay tribute to the pogues singer shane macgowan, who died last week at the age of 65. c

in a major blow to the prime minister tonight, the minister responsible for immigration, robertjenrickgned — at the very moment legislation on asylum seekers was being announced to the commons. his resignation came over a bill attempting to enable the government's policy of sending some migrants to rwanda to go ahead after the supreme court ruled it unlawful. mrjenrick said it didn't go far enough and it would not end what he called "the merry go round of legal challenges which risked paralysing the scheme." our political editor chris mason is here. a huge embarrassment this for rishi sunak? it this for rishi sunak? is a huge embarrassment. bu quite it is a huge embarrassment. but quite the thing to do so in the very week that you are attempting a reset on, yes, you guessed it, immigration policy. on monday we had government plans to cut legal immigration adjuster the home secretary james cleverly went to rwanda to set out part of the approach on illegal immigration. i went along to report on it and as day trips go it is quite thejourney on it and as day trips go it is quite the journe

but the conservative mp robertjenrick — in his first broadcast interview since leaving government lastmmigration minister over the bill, said it would become �*bogged down�* by legal challenges if it became law. but the cabinet minister, michael gove, said only a �*vanishingly small�* number of appeals would be allowed under the new scheme. here�*s our political correspondent, helen catt. this time last week, rishi sunak and robertjenrick were together in government — allies about to announce a slew of measures to reduce immigration. it�*s a new experience for me but it was a very important point of principle... this morning, mrjenrick was facing off against former colleagues. in his first interview since resigning, he said he would not vote for mr sunak�*s rwanda safety bill. i think that a political choice has been made to bring forward a bill which doesn�*t do the job, and i think that at this moment, when you�*ve got a small boats crisis where11li,000 people have crossed the channel on dangerous, unnecessary, illegal small boats, that we cannot take that risk. mrjenrick�*s latest i

britain's former immigration minister, robertjenrick, redoubles his attack on the government's rwandaed from cliffs on the south coast of england. hello and welcome to bbc news. i am anna foster injerusalem.

before we went live, i saw rishi sunak has written a damning letter to robertjenrick saying you haveee, i know suella braverman and robert jenrick and any superbright mp are very keen on posturing about this. super right. they claim they can break any single international law they have signed up to including the effects on the good friday agreement etc but rishi sunak has pointed out that the rwandans were the ones who said you cannot break international law in this process so it had to be very carefully drafted to ensure that the human rights act might be slightly affected, they can bypass aspects of that and the uk parliament can ignore certain edicts from the european court of human rights and the european convention on human rights but ultimately their hands are slightly tight. this is all irrelevant because unfortunately or fortunately, all irrelevant because unfortunately orfortunately, in my view, because i think the scheme is a mess and it was only ever an agreement. all this money that has been thrown at it is for 200 people. the agreement with rwanda is for 200 people. we h

the tory party came very close to doing something very stupid last week, they panicked after robertjenrickafter robertjenrick resigned on for a little while i even thought there might be a leadership challenge to rishi sunak which would have been mad but the conservative party is capable of mad things at the moment! i think wiser heads are prevailing and i think they don't want to injure the prime minister any more thanis injure the prime minister any more than is necessary. i think therefore the prime minister will win in inverted commas the vote tomorrow but tory mps are not happy with the bill, their tactic is to amend it in committee stage so it may pass in the commons tomorrow i think it will struggle to pass eventually because there are irreconcilable sides of there are irreconcilable sides of the party. some people want something modest with an international law and others think we have to take much more radical steps to fulfil immigration pledges. no doubt we will possibly totally after the vote but rishi sunak at the covid inquiry today in the next hour so how important and critic

robertjenrick — who was until last week the immigration minister responsible for the plans — says het in a key vote on the issue on tuesday. our political correspondent peter saull has more. why did you resign? this time last week, he was a loyal member of rishi sunak�*s government. but the ex—immigration minister is now on the opposing side of the argument to those who he used to share the cabinet table with. in his first interview since resigning, robertjenrick explained why he believes legislation designed to resurrect the rwanda plan will fail. we've already done two bills. this is the third bill. it's three strikes or you're out. i want this bill to work and create that powerful deterrent. i'm afraid it's very clear to all those people who really understand how this system operates, that this bill will not succeed. and he's certainly not alone in urging the government to go further. in the sunday telegraph, sir bill cash from the european research group of right—leaning conservative mps writes that the bill isn't sufficiently watertight. on another wing of the tory party, though
