Leaders make their election pitches as 4 July campaign begins
In his BBC interviews this morning, Rishi Sunak was pressed on when the first flights to Rwanda will take off, taking migrants who crossed the Channel on small boats.
He repeatedly said “July”. As a reminder, the election is on Thursday 4 July.
Sunak was also pressed on LBC, where he conceded they will take off “after the election”.
“If I’m elected, we will get the flights off,” he said.
Pressed further on timing, he said: “No, after the election. The preparation work has already gone on.”
