For the scheme to work, Rwanda needs to have capacity on a scale which allows the UK government to credibly threaten people with removal.

However, while the government says the agreement with the government in Kigali is uncapped, we know the initial accommodation built for the scheme can only house 200 people.

Yolande Makolo says Rwanda "expects to relocate thousands" of people and that it will be staggered so it can be properly managed.

She says there has been a misconception over the 200-bed accommodation facility and that discussions are under way for further sites to be used, which will be formalised once the UK has told Rwanda how many people are coming and when.

Pressed on whether Rwanda will be able to take a number of people in the magnitude of the tens of thousands, Makolo declines to get into specifics but insists the government will be able to fulfil the agreement.

"What I cannot tell you is how many thousands we will take in the first year or the second year," Makolo says.

Coming up now is an interview with Rwandan government spokesperson, Yolande Makolo.

It's Makolo's first interview since the government's Rwanda bill was passed.

Laura Kuenssberg will be asking her about the practicalities of the deal to take asylum seekers from the UK, the country's reputation on the international stage and whether it is a safe to send people to.

You can watch above and we'll be bringing you key lines from the interview here.

Laura is now asking McFadden if the UK government does manage to get people to Rwanda under its flagship scheme, and then if Labour wins the general election, would they bring people back from Rwanda?

McFadden is clear and tells her no, I don't think we'd do that.

McFadden says the country needs a far-ranging plan for the migration problem, not the 1% solution he says the Rwanda scheme provides, and says the money would be better spent on international action to take on the smuggling gangs.

Kuenssberg asks about the 40,0000 people who have come to the country illegally since the law changed and how Labour would deal with them.

McFadden repeats the Rwanda money would be better spent on policing the smuggling gangs rather the Rwanda.

He says he thinks the government will succeed in getting flights running but that it won't fix the problem or be value for money.

Asked repeatedly if a Labour government would scrap the scheme, he says it would divert the money.

But would Labour stop it? We don't want to continue with the scheme, he replies.

McFadden declines to give a commitment to scrapping the scheme on the first day of a Labour government, but repeats the party doesn't want to continue with it.

McFadden is pressed on whether the party fears there will be consequences for Labour's stance on Gaza at the general election.

McFadden acknowledges that in some parts of the country that will be the case, and concedes it did happen in some instances in these local elections.

But he repeats that on the whole, these results were overwhelmingly positive for Labour, especially in mayoral races where the party exceeded expectations.

Laura continues to ask McFadden on the party's stance on the war in Gaza.

He says he understands why there are strong feelings about this issue.

Laura presses him again on Starmer - people wanted him to call for an immediate ceasefire and are not happy with his approach?

McFadden says Labour defends Israel's right to defend itself after the atrocity of 7 October and that remains part of our position.

And we are also working for better future for the Palestinian people, he says - both those things guide our position.

Labour’s National Campaign Co-ordinator Pat McFadden is now in the hot seat - has he been asked if the party's approach to the war in Gaza has cost the party voters, says Kuenssberg,

McFadden says, with particular reference to Oldham, "I think Gaza was a factor, but it's not only one".

He said the local authority has experienced "hyperlocal issues", which means "we've lost seats there for a few years running".

Harper is asked about an upcoming interview with the Rwandan government, which has declined to say it would be able to handle tens of thousands of asylum seekers being sent from the UK.

The government wants to send around 40,000 people. Do ministers have a plan B, he's asked.

He tells viewers the government has a clear plan to start flights going in ten to twelve weeks, and says the ministers believe they can get a steady rhythm of flights up and running this year.

Harper says the deterrence effect will hit smuggling gangs operating boats across the Channel.

Laura puts it to Harper that "people do not like what you are offering" - is now the time to think about doing things differently?

Sometimes people get to a point with their government where they stop listening, Laura suggests. Are you worried you might be at that stage?

Harper says no - people want us to drive down inflation and cut taxes which we have been doing.

Yes there was low turnout, he adds, and our voters did not come out and support our candidates - we have a plan going forward, he says.

Harper says the message from Ben Houchen's mayoral win in Tees Valley is about having a plan and delivering it, and insists the government is making progress on priorities like inflation.

He refuses to be drawn on why Ben Houchen was able to communicate to voters but Sunak doesn't seem to be able to, before being presented with criticism from local Conservative leaders.

Harper repeats again that the plan is about delivering but the government hasn't got all the way through it yet.

The country is telling you it doesn't like what you are doing, Laura says for Mark Harper.

Harper replies that he is not going to pretend the results weren't disappointing - it was disappointing to lose hard-working local councillors. He cites last night's nail biting mayoral results, saying Andy Street was a fantastic mayor.

We've got Rwanda legislation on the books, he says, and plans to reduce NHS waiting lists - those are our priorities, he adds.

Now we are hearing from Transport secretary Mark Harper.

Harper says this week's results suggest the country is on course for a hung parliament, not the Labour landslide the polls suggest.

He insists the general election is "all to play for" and "there is everything to fight for".

Braverman says we are not going to fix this unless we are honest about this and we change course and reflect with some humility.

I am going to fight, even if it makes me unpopular, she adds.

Braverman refuses to be drawn on whether there was a plot in place to remove Sunak, and says he and his team are to blame for the party's struggles.

She adds: "There's no point blaming those of us who are telling the truth for the problems we are facing."

Asked again if there was a plot, she says "you tell me".

Laura asks if she regrets backing Sunak when he ran to be leader of the Tories and prime minister

She replies: "Honestly? Yes, I do."

Braverman says Sunak has not fulfilled assurances he made to her on things like migration, human rights law and identity issues.

Asked what the evidence is that voters want the government to move to the right, Braverman repeats that the government's current strategy is not working, and this election proves that.

They do not believe that we are serious about issues like tax, Braverman says, and calls for more cuts rather than "tweaking".

"People are not convinced by what we are saying," she adds.

Many of my colleagues are demoralised, Braverman says.

It does me no favours to come here and set out out how it is - she adds, saying it's a difficult situation to come here and talk about what went wrong.

Laura puts to her that it's the Conservative MPs who have been criticising the PM in public - political gaming - that's making the party suffer, hinting at Braverman's own grandstanding.

Braverman says she rejects this.

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman also says she does not believe a change of leadership is "a feasible prospect right now".

"We don't have enough time", she added.

Braverman says Rishi Sunak has led the party for around 18 months and the results are "the consequences" of his decisions.

"He needs to own this, and therefore, he needs to fix it."

Braverman says Sunak "needs to own this". Our voters are on strike, she says.

The PM Rishi Sunak needs to show that he cares, he needs to lower taxes, put a cap on migration and he needs to take us out of European Convention for Human Rights, she adds.

We're hearing from Braverman now.

She says the government's plan is not working and she despairs at these "terrible results".

Braverman says there is no spinning or disguising the fact these have been terrible results for the Tories.

She says the UK is heading for a Labour government and that fit fills her with horror.

She urges Rishi Sunak to change course on reflect on what voters want.
