Hello, one of those days where it hasn't quite gone to plan.

So we originally were not going to cover the latest votes on the government's Rwanda legislation

because there are votes on amendments and the parliamentary arithmetic meant that the government was always going to win

no matter how many Conservative MPs rebelled and voted for amendments put forward by people like

Bill Cash, who want to make the legislation tougher because they think it isn't tough enough.

And we thought, we'll just wait until Wednesday when it's the so-called third reading,

because actually that's the point at which a government rebellion really, really matters,

because it could mean that the legislation doesn't

get through, which would be a pretty major deal for the government. Anyway, we've just had the

votes on Tuesday night on some of the amendments and there was quite a large number of

conservatives voted for one of them in particular, around about 68, 17. So that suggests that

actually maybe the disquiet amongst the Conservative

Party, but the lack of strength of this bill is actually bigger than we thought. And also two of the

people that voted for that amendment and rebelled against the government are vice chairs of the Conservative

Party, Lee Anderson and

Brendan Clark Smith. And they have now offered their resignation to the Prime Minister because they

rebelled against the government whip. So that's slightly more dramatic than we were expecting.

However, however, does this mean the rebels have kind of like shot their shot?

And this is the high point of the drama as far as that is concerned. And actually when it comes

to third reading tomorrow, not all of those 68, 70 rebels vote against the government. And actually

the people who are disgruntled to use this as leverage to get more assurances

and other things, maybe before third reading, or as the bill goes through the Lords,
