we ve got our own show to make, so let s get on with this episode of newscast. newscast. newscast from the bbc. hello, it s james here in the studio in westminster. and it s chris in westminster, too. here we are, and one story that s dominated this week, chris, hasn t it, which has been this post office scandal? but there s one story going to dominate next week, i think, quite likely, in so much as we can forecast. what s that? it is rwanda. so it s the return of the conversation about how you deal with illegal migration. and the government is keen to have this idea of sending folk to rwanda. as newscasters will be aware, it s been getting relatively long in the tooth as an idea, but it hasn t yet happened for a million and one legal reasons. there are also very transparent differences of opinion within the conservative party about how you do it, how you make it work, can you make it work, and what s the best way of making it work? there was a bit of a to do before christmas
notjust because i think it s the right thing to do to bring down net migration, but it s also something that the public have been asking us to do, and too many governments have failed to deliver on those promises. you know, one of the reasons i left government, one of the things i m now committed to doing, is to making that public argument that a different way is possible, that we as a party and as a country can work our way through this age of mass migration in a sensible, intelligent manner, not using incendiary language or, you know, populist policies, but trying to find ways of actually delivering for the public. you very much, robert. right, let s introduce our panel. we have scarlett maguire from the polling companyjl pollsters.
