We in The Guardian politics team are very sad to say goodbye to our wonderful Maria - who runs our work lives and is a brilliant colleague and friend. She is returning to Sweden after 15 years in the UK. We’re already planning a minibus trip across Europe to visit her ❤️🇸🇪 🍻

Rwanda bill latest: majority of Tory rebel MPs planning to vote *for* the bill at third reading.

They still want tougher legislation, but can't bring themselves to walk through lobbies with Labour in an election year.
