also carries that story, with reaction from the refugee council calling the move "cruel and nasty." and it's back to partygate on the front of the mirror, which has an insider saying the prime minister is "bang to rights" and a warning that the worst is yet to come. very good evening to you both. let's start off with the front page of the telegraph. migrants to be sent to rwanda. i’m of the telegraph. migrants to be sent to rwanda.— of the telegraph. migrants to be sent to rwanda. i'm 'ust bringing this u- in sent to rwanda. i'm 'ust bringing this up in front h sent to rwanda. i'm 'ust

front of me, and it's i this up in front of me, and it's clear that this is a big announcement that's being pushed by the government in some ways to distract from the story we will talk about next. which is the ongoing scandal of the partygate affair. this is one of those stories that some of the government supporters are going to absolutely love. people who have a hard line on immigration are going to think it's a brilliant idea to fly people, and i must say, it's one revealing moment about newspapers, the need to compare everything. metro calls it 6000. i don't know which is right. you have the reaction from the refugee council. i think a lot of people will feel that. an important point that priti patel makes is that britain has been trying very hard to deter people from making those unsafe crossings over the channel. and if there is anything that may deter the desperate because you have to be desperate to put your child or yourself in those boats, but if you are still looking for ways to disturb people, there's an argument for pointing out that the moment you land here, you will be taken back somewhere else and you have another long journey. somewhere else and you

pages will be looking at the war in ukraine. we heard a lot of stories this week about the homes for ukrainians scheme. there are some questions about how efficiently that is being run, but we are getting a government message that ukrainian refugees are welcome here, these are migrants we want to have and we have a moral duty to be hospitable to. of course, priti patel and many who think like her would argue that a lot of the migrants in terms of this project are not refugees from war, they're economic migrants to have precisely their cases assessed to see if they are the kind of virtuous migrants that we now accept politically. but i think there will be a lot of people who see a disconnect in that messaging and wonder why those groups are being, why there is very different messaging and the rhetoric towards those groups today. let’s towards those groups today. let's turn to the _ towards those groups today. let's turn to the independent. cruel deal to send asylum—seekers to africa. can i take a moment and let our viewers know the statement that has come from the refugee council, saying they were appalled by this nasty decision to send those seeking sanctuary to rwanda. this is the brutal reality faced by refugees all over the world who this government now wants to treat as no more than human cargo to be shipped elsewhere. we urge the government to immediately rethink its plans which are in stark contrast to what every conservative prime minister since churchill has sought to do. he does go on, but that was just some of what was included in that statement. ijust what was included in that statement. i just picked what was included in that statement. ijust picked up a figure here. it will do little to deter them from crossing this country, but only lead to more suffering and chaos, but a huge expense of £1.11 to more suffering and chaos, but a huge expense of {1.4 billion a year. that is solomon from the refugee council. as we look to the independent, it does make you think how this is a distraction from partygate, can be good news because this keeps on further negative back news, further criticism for the government. news, further

we were stuck in in december, in which there was every single day the partygate story remand on the front pages. alastair campbell had that line about having ten days before you lose your job about having ten days before you lose yourjob if you can change the conversation. something like that. i don't know if you want to go through those headlines for the viewers before we dissect them, but the resignation of david wilson is very interesting as a justice minister because one reason he is so respected in the legal profession and amongst people who've watched westminster for a long time as and amongst people who've watched westminsterfor a long time as he has an independent career as a very senior lawyer. —— david wolf son. he feels that he now can't continue in thatjob, supporting government which has broken the law. but i do feel that may be one of the reasons why his resignation has repercussions in westminster. a career politician, someone who didn't have their own alternative career to go back to. he is in many ways an independent figure here, more so than someone who had risen to ministerial ranks through the house of commons. kate has just taken us onto our paper, the metro. the guardian, also, leaning on the fact that the prime minister may face a further three more funds in the party scandal, but the headline for the metro is tory law chief quits.
