After months of parliamentary ping-pong between the House of Commons and the Lords, Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda Bill has passed.

The prime minister called it a “landmark” law, saying that “nothing will stand in our way” of getting flights off the ground within 10 to 12 weeks.

However, the scheme could face yet more hurdles, with the potential for it to be held up by challenges in court.

On this episode, Matt Barbet takes stock of the bill with Adam Parsons, Sky’s Europe editor in France, who has been watching migrant boats cross the English Channel even after the bill’s passing.

Sky’s communities correspondent Becky Johnson also joins Matt to share some of the stories from those asylum seekers already in the UK and what they might expect from the Rwanda bill.

And Dr Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, details the potential impact this new legislation might have on migration figures.
