More than 500 migrants cross the Channel on busiest day of the year so far

More than 500 migrants crossed the Channel in small boats yesterday on the busiest day of arrivals so far this year, as politicians prepare for the latest fight to get deportation flights to Rwanda off the ground.

'Clearly this week the PM is focused on ensuring that the Bill progresses through Parliament as quickly as possible.

But the Lords could decide to push their changes again, starting what is known as 'ping-pong' with the law passing between the Commons and the upper chamber repeatedly. Progress has reportedly stalled with all four countries, which were priorities in a long list of potential locations, as the Rwanda scheme struggles to get off the ground after two years of legal and political wrangling.
