D-day for Rwanda Bill: Rishi Sunak to hold press conference this morning as he ... trends now Rishi Sunak is set to face the media this morning as he mounts an all-out bid to force the Rwanda plan through Parliament. The PM will hold a press conference in Downing Street as he warns he is ready to make MPs and peers sit through the night to break an impasse on the crucial legislation. The showdown comes after the House of Lords again refused to back down last week, passing more amendments to the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill despite MPs repeatedly dismissing their objections. That teed up a fourth round of 'ping-pong' - where legislation is batted between the two Houses until agreement is reached - which will begin in the Commons this afternoon. Mr Sunak is expected to deliver a stern message to peers this morning that his patience has run out, with his pledge to 'stop the boats' on the line. Rishi Sunak (pictured on Friday) is set to face the media this morning as he mounts an all-out bid to force the Rwanda plan through Parliament Mr Sunak is expected to deliver a stern message to peers this morning that his patience has run out, with his pledge to 'stop the boats' on the line. Pictured, migrants crossing the Channel last month The proposed law aims to send some asylum seekers on a one-way trip to Kigali in order to deter people from crossing the Channel in small boats. The Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill and a new treaty are intended to prevent further legal challenges to the stalled asylum scheme after the Supreme Court ruled the plan was unlawful. As well as compelling judges to regard the east African country as safe, it would give ministers the power to ignore emergency injunctions. Despite MPs overturning previous changes by the upper chamber, last week peers renewed their demand that Rwanda cannot be treated as a safe country until an independent monitoring body has verified that protections contained in the treaty are implemented. The provision would also allow the Secretary of State to effectively pull the plug on the scheme if the promised safeguards were not maintained. The Lords also reinserted an exemption from removal for those who worked with the UK military or Government overseas, such as Afghan interpreters. Assuming MPs remove those amendments tonight, they will send the Bill immediately back to the Upper House - and continue to sit until peers accept the will of the elected House. The last time a standoff between the Houses went into the early hours was more than a decade ago, with politicians relying on camp beds as they batted legislation backwards and forwards. If peers pass exactly the same amendment twice, the Commons faces the choice of either accepting the change or losing the Bill under a rarely-used process known as 'double insistence'. The House of Lords refused to back down in the latest stage of Parliamentary wrangling last week Crossbench peer and former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation Lord Anderson has raised this possibility and described the legislation as a 'post-truth Bill' that asks Parliament to declare Rwanda is safe when, he argued, it is not. This is regarded as a 'nuclear option', with Labour indicating it will not try to block the legislation entirely. Government sources have played down the impact of the wrangling, but many now believe flights cannot begin until mid-June at the earliest. Downing Street has declined to stand by the timetable previously set out by Mr Sunak for flights to take off in the Spring, merely saying the policy will be implemented 'as soon as possible'. Answering questions after a speech in London on Friday, Mr Sunak stressed that this evening will be the final showdown. 'The very simple thing here is that repeatedly, everyone has tried to block us from getting this Bill through. Yet again you saw it this week,' he said. 'You saw Labour peers blocking us again, and that's enormously frustrating. Everyone's patience with this has run thin, mine certainly has. 'So our intention now is to get this done on Monday. No more prevarication, no more delay. We will sit there and vote until it's done.' He continued: 'We're going to get this Bill passed, and then we will work to get flights off so we can build that deterrent, because that is the only way to resolve this issue. If you care about stopping the boats, you've got to have a deterrent.' Ministers have been hinting that the RAF will be deployed to run the flights, instead of using a private airline. There are reports that the Ministry of Defence is preparing to repurpose at least one RAF Voyager plane for deportations, with claims that the government has struggled to find a private airline.
