 Politics latest: Sunak finally gets his way as Lords decide not to table further amendments
==========

Rishi Sunak has won a major victory for his Rwanda policy after it finally passed through parliament tonight. The bill had gone back and forth between the House of Commons and House of Lords in a stand-off that threatened to drag on into the early hours. The PM has acknowledged it will be 10 to 12 weeks before the first plane carrying asylum seekers to Rwanda will take off, missing his self-imposed spring deadline. Small boat arrivals are up 24% compared to last year. Airlines could be breaking international law if they fly asylum seekers to Rwanda, UN experts warn.
