Summary

We speak to barrister Bobby Friedman about the Home Office flight which has deported 17 people to Jamaica this morning. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen explains why he thinks going ahead with HS2 is a bad idea. Plus, do you trust the Met Police using facial recognition software when it fails most of the time? And a lawyer pops in to explain to Mike whether he can patent the word 'Plank'.
