UK: Anti-smoking law, Rwanda bill, Liz Truss book

From Nine To Noon, 9:50 am on 18 April 2024

UK correspondent Dan Bloom looks at the anti-smoking legislation - similar to what was proposed and then dumped in New Zealand - that's creating huge divisions within the Conservative Party.

He'll look at progress on Rishi Sunak's Rwanda plan for illegal migrants and what's in Prime-Minister-for-49-days Liz Truss' new memoir.

Dan Bloom is deputy editor of Politico London Playbook
