The Labour leader said the government's Rwanda scheme was a farce and that spending £400m on a removals plan that does not remove anyone was not a plan. Starmer repeatedly asked the prime minister: 'Where are the 4,250 people [who were due to be moved to Rwanda] the government has lost?' In response, the prime minister said the number of people arriving to the UK illegally has gone down by a third.

The clash over immigration came as MPs prepared to vote on amendments through the evening. In a vote on the previous night, 60 Conservative MPs opposed the government, in the biggest rebellion of Sunak's premiership. Three people also resigned from party or government positions over the government's immigration plans
