11:30 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sienna rodgers, senior writer at the house magazine, and rachel watson, scottish political editor at the scottish sun. thank you forjoining us. quick look through the front pages. the metro's front page focuses on the former british soldierjordan gatley, who's reported to have been killed while fighting in the war in ukraine. the daily mail leads on the government's rwanda asylum—seeker policy. the paper calls the potential ban on putting people on the first flight to rwanda a "farce". the i newspaper also follows the story, saying the delay could be caused if the policy is blocked by the court of appeal on monday. the ft reports on the northern ireland trade deal, as conservative backbenchers apply pressure on the prime minister to rip it up.

11:33 pm
but this isn'tjust... this is criticism of the scheme altogether. there is huge contempt from campaigners opposite. not that it's rwanda particularly, but the fact that you are removing people... people are trying to get the uk and are being removed and they don't want to go there. that's a huge part of it and i think if you look a across the papers, it looks unlikely we'll will seek —— we will see any people... it's notjust the court of appeal. it's all these individual cases. we went from around 100 people expected to 31. there is a source in the telegraph saying they expected to be single figures. i think this is a controversial topic and it has been meeting up —— eating

threat to the eu courts? they describe it as... they also have other details around this legislation would remove all customs checks from mainland britain into northern ireland and businesses will choose which regulations they want to follow. so i think this is another heated topic that tomorrow will begin to unravel more. we see that across the front pages. we see the rebellion that borisjohnson might face. we have the cbi talking about something tomorrow. there's another huge issue for the prime minister. ., ., , ., , minister. your thoughts on this cuickl , minister. your thoughts on this quickly, sienna. _
