Michael Tomlinson, Minister for Illegal Migration, is asked by Mishal Husain why migrants haven't yet been identified for the first Rwanda flights, and why case workers haven't finished their training yet. #R4Today

@BBCPolitics @MishalHusain He’s just awful. Where do they dig these hideous people up from?

@MishalHusain That was another cracking interview by @MishalHusain She made the bloke (I won’t grace him with the title Minister) look utterly ridiculous. Mishal: “How long will it take to clear the backlog via this scheme?” Bloke: “[I dunno] you can do the maths.”

@MishalHusain Mishal has been with BBC since 1998, while Tomlinson has been an MP since 2015. His arrogant, patronising tone is not acceptable in the face of questions ANY reasonable journalist would ask, ie 'You still haven't identified candidates for deportation despite all your bluster?'

@MishalHusain Pompous. Patronising. How on earth do these people get elected?

@MishalHusain Say "respectfully" again. I dare you! I double dare you, Tomlinson!!

@MishalHusain Failed to mention there will be planes coming back with the Rwanda govt undesireables. Their govt is laughing at us + raking it in. Last estimate was we pay them £169k each plus cost of housing rwandans here. Another clearly rattled minister out of his depth, hoping we wont see.

@MishalHusain Case workers not fully trained yet? Michelle obviously incredulous and he puts her down with body language as well as words. He was obnoxious towards her.

@MishalHusain Why is the minister for illegal immigration dealing with refugee issues. Refugees aren't illegal.

@MishalHusain This has all the hallmarks of Brexit/ScottishReferendum i.e. no advance planning. I thought civil service had learnt from this. We should be hitting the ground running. Act or no Act.

@MishalHusain @BBCr4today @MishalHusain I have never heard such a rude interviewee. @Michael4MDNP: ‘You are determined’ to be evasive and put your interviewer down. There is no respect. Please don’t give this man an opportunity to talk in the future.
