Ryanair Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary weighed into the UK’s controversial plan to deport refugees to Rwanda, saying he would “happily” do the flights if he had the available aircraft.

“If it was the winter schedule and we had spare aircraft sitting around and if the government were looking for additional deportation flights or any other flights, we would happily quote for the business,” O’Leary said in an interview in London.

With the way Ryanair operate, the refugees would end up nowhere near Rwanda.

The Scottish Labour Party has upped the ante and tabled a motion of no confidence in the entire Scottish government.

The party leader Anas Sarwar says removing First Minister Humza Yousaf alone will not be enough.

He says: “We need to get rid of the entire SNP government which has left almost 1 in 6 Scots on an NHS waiting list, public finances in chaos and public services at breaking point.

“The people of Scotland deserve a fresh start – this can only come with a Scottish election.”

Motions of no confidence require the signatures of at least 25 MSPs to be debated.

The Conservative motion regarding Humza Yousaf has already met that threshold and is set to be debated on either Wednesday or Thursday next week.

That vote is not legally binding, though privately government advisers acknowledge it would be politically untenable to carry on having lost such the backing of parliament.

However, a motion of no confidence in the government is legally binding. And a simple majority of votes in favour of it would be enough to bring the government down.

I know some people in here are convinced Starmer will be toast before too long after the election, but I simply can't see it. I can quite easily instead see a decade of him as PM, before handing over to a female successor to fight the 2034 GE.

I’m in Dundee - should I go down and be the GRcade on site correspondent? What questions do you want me to put to him, what is his stance on cupboard bins? Is Stellar Star on his playlist?
