As of this week, Rishi Sunak can boast he has sent asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Admittedly, it was just one guy. Admittedly he was paid £3k to go. Admittedly he'd already failed the asylum test to remain in Britain and admittedly - crucially - he went voluntarily. This is NOT the same forced deportation plan that Rishi promised would "stop the boats".
But don't let pesky details get you down. The headline - conveniently dropping before tomorrow's local elections - make it sound like the Rwanda plan is flying.
Later - what should you be looking out for in the Glastonbury weekend of fun that is the local elections.
And what's going on with the protests on US college campuses - are we next?
