The Rwanda Bill returned to the House of Commons, to little fanfare. The Government used its still solid majority to quash 10 amendments from peers in the upper house, and so the legislation looks set to finally become law.
Yet even when rebuffed, the House of Lords retains the power to frustrate. Peers are threatening to delay the bill for weeks, perhaps even months, which would prevent any deportation flights to Kigali. This might cost the Prime Minister far more than the £1,000 he bet Piers Morgan.
