I've bought the popcorn, so to speak. Can't wait to watch the fun and games that will now ensue.

In a sense, Sunak was right to not allow amendment because it would result in a breach of international law, which is a bad thing for the UK to be doing. But that, in turn, was driven by Rwanda threatening to pull out if we breached international law. A vicious circle on a scheme that cannot work.

So - what to do; bite the real bullet and turn the boats back to France. There will be some sea dramas, but not for long. France will rattle its sabres but at the end of the day, France is allowing the UK to be invaded. We should not be afraid of facing France and even the EU down.

The above is in the absence of a comprehensive agreement between all European countries (a very difficult thing to achieve) - but we should get that ball rolling.
