, the home secretary and boris johnson, easter time by priti patel, the home secretary and borisjohnson migrant is actually flown in from the uk to rwanda and so, you might think they want to focus on getting that arm of the scheme up and running and properly before looking to expand and other countries if thatis to expand and other countries if that is even possible and i think, it feels like red meat being thrown and rather than restless conservative backbenchers who will be getting it in the neck from below the constituents who want to see this immigration crisis tackled and have to see what more details and we have to see what more details and how far down the tracks if they are in discussion with this, as i say, so far, the evidence would suggest that these are the silver bullet that these are the silver bullet that these are the silver bullet that the government would like them to be and so, i think the proof of this will be. banks of the biggest bang price since black wednesday. anna, i listen to everything you both say but i also do occasional checking of my own stats and is won

and this would be my argument about both suella braverman and priti patel talking tough is , a substitute tough is, a substitute for being successful and know we can all dog whistle can all talk as tough as like but in the end if you don't make the country if you don't tackle crime if you don't help keep us protected from terrorism if you don't our borders you can talk tough as you like. you're not actually the job of home secretary, which is to keep the country , our is to keep the country, our communities and our people safe . now, you had to resign from that job. we're familiar with seeing politicians having to resign from big jobs , resign from big jobs, particularly in recent times. how tough is it to resign ? what how tough is it to resign? what goes through your mind? what is how does it happen it's you know, i had gone through a lot of difficulties in terms the expenses scandal, which had impacted my family. i was only able to do the job because my then husband actually helped to care for our children and helped to work with me in the constituency i just couldn't carry on doing it

seeing about ministers�* behaviour, whether it's dominic raab or suella braverman or, before her, priti patel how they behave, but about civil servants thinking they can frustrate what politicians want to do. i don't know if you saw this article in the daily mail — "he can't run britain with a civil service hell bent "on blocking policies and plotting to get ministers "sacked," leo mckinstry writes. "the tories might be in office, but their ability to "implement their agenda is being drastically curtailed "by their opponents in the civil service, "many of whom hold them in contempt". has he got a point? i don't think so. i mean, ijust — i have never seen civil servants trying to block ministers�* policies. i think there�*s a debate that we don�*t have about the — the nature of the relationship between ministers and officials and about particularly about the balance of power, because the word "servant" is there. it has meaning. and civil servants don�*t get to challenge ministers as equals. so, i rememberworking with a minister many years ago who was, you know, not at all a bully, very, very c

and i have sympathy for priti patel .et the number of illegal crossings irregular crossings they're termed by the home office down but you know she's she's in a she in and now suella braverman is in a very unenviable position trying to grapple with a situation that many believe will only be solved if . we come out of the european if. we come out of the european convention on human rights because that is giving those lawyers who are challenge urging the various policies that are being adopted by the british government the chance to try it, get through the courts. and we know, of course, that a rwanda policy is mired in a legal we're still waiting for judges to come back with the deliberation of whether that policy is or not. and, of course , those general and, of course, those general asylum applications that approved or not, often when they're turned down, there is this appeal process that can go on and, on and on and actually a number of years . and so those number of years. and so those coming across on irregular routes

we're going to put up barriers as in the in the channel you know that's what priti patel is a big wave we're going to send them rwanda going to send them to rwanda we're do the you know we're going to do the you know we're going to do the you know we're stuff to we're coming up with stuff to make headlines appease a very make headlines to appease a very hang on i'm not if it's to appease because poll after poll shows that people are frustrated with this issue and they're not oldest mail readers who've been hyped up discussion about invaders people see with their own eyes they hear with their own eyes they hear with their own ears. what is going on at our border. and they are allowed to be worried that . their to be worried that. their country is has borders that are completely but completely porous and we've got we've got a cost of living crisis. we've got essentials going on strike for the first time in british history, rishi sunak was on the news just before we came on saying we can't afford give the nurses the pay rise. they and here we are paying 7 million a day for accommodation f

i think that is the accusation that is now being made against sir gavin and was made against priti patel civil servants are not in a position of power when they are working with ministers. there is a strong sense that ministers are all—powerful and make the decisions and set the tone for the way in which things are done. civil servants don't complain likely, they know things will be pressured and sometimes ministers say things that they shouldn't have said to them. but it is about systemic bullying and that is a much bigger concern to me.— systemic bullying and that is a much bigger concern to me. thank you very much for your— bigger concern to me. thank you very much for your time _ bigger concern to me. thank you very much for your time today. _ bigger concern to me. thank you very much for your time today. thank - bigger concern to me. thank you very much for your time today. thank you. voters across the us are heading to the polls in midterm elections, normally held every two years after a presidential election. the democrats have controlled both chambers of the us congress, the hous

there was a lot of eyebrows when priti patel , the then home priti patel, the then home secretary, announced, announced this was going to be a policy . and going to be a policy. and actually, how can you do ensuring that they would be safely pushed back to the beach. there was concerns that migrants we just jump into the water the boats could be overturned but they even went as far as buying these jet skis for border force personnel . we saw them out personnel. we saw them out training the jet skis to rehearse particular tactic , but rehearse particular tactic, but it was only ever going to be used in a small number of occasions and actually a few . occasions and actually a few. the skipper of a major border force vessel taking that decision, which could potentially end in tragedy. you'd be a brave skipper to actually give the order, especially if all the people inside the boats have just got a tyre in a tube as safety net. so yeah. tyre in a tube as safety net. so yeah . mark, as ever, thank you yeah. mark, as ever, thank you for . yeah. mark, as ever, thank you for. updating us on that sto

an intelligence cell set up injuly 2020, that was the first major agreement, when priti patel was homemoney has gone up a little bit. there has been an increase in surveillance, and drone technology, the number of officers patrolling, and we are seeing them again. but let's not get carried away here. the number of officers who are going to be patrolling is increasing but we are told it is going to be in the coming months, it is not immediately. it is going to take some time for that to happen. the stationing of border force officers, national crime agency officers in points in france is obviously welcome, but it is not exactly what the uk wanted. i think the uk wanted their own officers patrolling the coastline in france. the home office believes that the interception rate, if the interception of people smuggling gangs can reach 75%, it is going to destroy the business model that they run. we heard simonjones allude to that a little earlier. the interception rate this year is around 42%. how difficult is it going to be to get that up to somewhere in the region of 75%? it is a big chall
