Thank you for joining us in the Politics Hub for a historic day in Westminster.

Here's what happened:

• Rishi Sunak apologised on behalf of the British state for failures at all levels of the British state that led to thousands being affected by infected blood;
• The prime minister said there was an "an institutional failure to face up to these failings, and worse, to deny, and even attempt to cover them up";
• He said that "whatever it costs to deliver the [compensation] scheme, we will pay it", acknowledging that it is "long overdue";
• The Labour leader apologised on behalf of the Labour Party for "an injustice that has spanned across governments on an unprecedented scale";
• He pledged that Labour will work with the government to ensure compensation is paid "swiftly";
• He committed that his party will "shine a harsh light upon the lessons that must be learnt to make sure nothing like this ever happens again";
• Aside from that, the Home Office said the number of people who have crossed the Channel in a small boat so far this year has reached nearly 10,000, with 68 making the perilous journey today.

Join us tomorrow for the very latest political news.

Tomorrow, the government will set out the details of the compensation scheme to be set up for the victims of the infected blood scandal and their families.

Our political editor Beth Rigby has been speaking to sources tonight, and has a bit more detail about the shape of what the government will offer.

A Whitehall source told her that the scheme outline will meet the "expectations and recommendations" of the damning public inquiry report by Sir Brian Langstaff, published today.

They said the government's announcement will not focus on the total amount of compensation being offered - that is because of the sheer number of people eligible, and the variety in sizes of the individual entitlements.

The source also told Beth that there will be a round of interim payments before the general election expected in the autumn.

Some final settlements could be made by that time, but the government will have to set up a separate arms length body to deal with compensation, which will take a little bit of time.

We'll have full coverage of the government's announcement on compensation tomorrow, so do join us for that.

Angela Rayner will tomorrow set out plans to build new housing, arguing that housebuilding has "plummeted" under the Tories.

Labour's deputy leader will tell property industry leaders that the UKREiiF conference in Leeds that the party will be "backing developers who deliver".

She will announce that a Labour government will set high standards on design, quality, affordable homes, green spaces and infrastructure.

The party says the plans are about a new generation of towns "echoing those built by the first Labour government after World War Two".

She will reiterate the party's pledge to build 1.5m new homes across Britain during the parliament.

Ms Rayner said in a statement: "Developers who deliver on their obligations to build high quality, well-designed and sustainable affordable housing, with green spaces and transport links and schools and GPs surgeries nearby, will experience a new dawn under Labour.

"But those who have wriggled out of their responsibilities for too long will be robustly held to account."

In a surprise to no one, the Tories are unimpressed by My Rayner's plans.

Party chair Richard Holden said in a statement: "It's remarkable that Angela Rayner would want to talk about housing whilst there is an active police investigation related to her own housing situation.

"Not to mention that Labour tried to enact this policy last time they were in office and completely failed – failing to build even one new town and overseeing the lowest level of housebuilding in peacetime since the 1920s."

Rishi Sunak is travelling to Austria to hold talks with the country's leader about illegal migration.

The prime minister will meet Chancellor Karl Nehammer in Vienna on Tuesday, following an announcement that the UK government will give an extra £25m to the National Crime Agency to help tackle people smuggling gangs.

But the main thrust of the trip is to promote the use of third country deportation schemes - like the government's Rwanda plan - which they will say is "part of the solution for best protecting Europe from irregular migratory pressures and preventing people from making illegal, dangerous journeys".

It comes as the number of people who have crossed the Channel in small boats this year nears 10,000.

The government has now passed its legislation to deport them to the African nation, but flights are not expected to begin until early July - and more legal challenges could be launched.

Labour has branded the scheme an "expensive gimmick" and promised to scrap it if they win the next election.

However, Home Secretary James Cleverly said the government was still "determined to crack down on those people smuggling gangs [and] determined to operationalise Rwanda as part of the measures to protect our borders".

Speaking ahead of the visit, the prime minister pointed to an open letter from 15 EU countries, including Austria, published last week that called for "new solutions to address irregular migration to Europe" - including looking into the possibility of third countries.

Mr Sunak said: "We are leading the charge with partners across the continent to meet the challenges caused by intolerable levels of illegal migration.

"Our disruption of the cruel trade of criminal gangs, together with our Rwanda scheme, are part of a deterrent to stop illegal migration once and for all.

"It is the British public who should make decisions about who crosses our borders."

We've been bringing you the political fallout from today's publication of the infected blood scandal report.

It has been labelled the worst treatment disaster in NHS history.

It saw an estimated 30,000 people given blood transfusions or blood products contaminated with HIV or hepatitis viruses from 1970 to the early 1990s.

Some 26,800 people are estimated to have been infected with hepatitis C after receiving blood transfusions - which can be needed following accidents or childbirth complications.

As many as 5,000 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders were treated with contaminated blood products. Almost all of them were infected with hepatitis C and around 1,250 people were also infected with HIV, including 380 children.

Some of those infected with HIV unintentionally passed on the virus to their partners.

An estimated 2,900 people had died as a result of the scandal by 2019.

How did it happen? 

The UK was not self-sufficient in blood donations in the early 1970s, so the government looked to the US for supplies to meet rising demand.

Batches of Factor VIII - an essential blood clotting protein which haemophiliacs do not produce naturally - started to be imported and used widely to treat the condition.

But much of it had been manufactured with blood collected from prisoners, drug addicts and other high-risk groups who were paid to give blood.

When the plasma was pooled together, it would take just one person carrying a virus to potentially infect an entire batch.

People were infected as donated blood was not tested for HIV until 1986 and hepatitis C until 1991.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has offered a "wholehearted and unequivocal" apology to the victims of the infected blood scandal, saying it was a "day of shame for the British state".

Mr Sunak said the scandal should have been avoided as he gave a statement in the Commons after the publication of the Infected Blood Inquiry's final report.

The document blamed "successive governments, the NHS, and blood services" for failures that led to 30,000 people being "knowingly" infected with either HIV or Hepatitis C through blood products - around 3,000 of whom have now died.

Calling it a "calamity", Mr Sunak said the report showed a "decades-long moral failure at the heart of our national life", as he condemned the actions of the NHS, civil service and ministers - "institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way".

The prime minister said those people "failed this country", adding: "Time and again, people in positions of power and trust had the chance to stop the transmission of those infections. Time and again, they failed to do so.

"I want to make a wholehearted and unequivocal apology for this terrible injustice."

Wales's first minister Vaughan Gething is likely to escape an immediate no confidence vote - but he's not out of the woods yet.

An ongoing scandal about his campaign donations has rocked his leadership, and last week, Plaid Cymru pulled out of its cooperation agreement with the Labour government six months early.

More questions about the £200,000 he took from Dauson group - whose director was convicted of environmental offences - are expected at First Minister's Questions on Tuesday.

Sky News understands Mr Gething will offer more detail about the unspent £31,600 left over from the leadership contest – which Labour sources had said would be given to the Labour Party.

Opposition parties in Wales, led by the Conservatives, are in talks about a no-confidence vote in Mr Gething which would be non-binding, but destabilise his leadership.

But it's not expected this week, with Conservative and Plaid sources saying the first opportunity is not likely to be until 5 June.

Less than two months into his leadership, in a narrow victory over rival Jeremy Miles, Mr Gething held an emergency meeting of Labour Senedd members on Friday.

Some of his allies claimed over the weekend that some of the criticism of him – the first black leader elected anywhere in Europe – was racially motivated.

Tory leader Andrew RT Davies had claimed on Friday that it was "odds on" a no confidence vote to force the first minister's resignation would be brought. But Tory sources no longer expect one this month.

To succeed, they would require one Labour MS to abstain, as Labour hold 30 of the 60 seats. A Labour source said the opposition parties "seem to have bottled it, no motion has been put down".

Mr Davies told the Daily Express today that he would continue to ask questions about the donation, writing: "The people of Wales will not accept the argument that legitimate questions about how our first minister got his job, his judgement and his truthfulness are motivated by race rather than the desire for answers to reasonable questions."

An inquiry into the infected blood scandal has pointed the finger at several people and organisations after more than 30,000 patients were "knowingly" infected with HIV or Hepatitis C.

Inquiry chair Sir Brian Langstaff said the "disaster was not an accident" and there was a "catalogue of failures" and a "pervasive" cover-up by the NHS and successive governments.

In Sir Brian's report, he named specific people and institutions in his criticism.

They included Kenneth Clarke, now a lord, who was heavily criticised by Sir Brian.

He was a health minister in Margaret Thatcher's government from 1982 to 1985, then health secretary from 1988 to 1990.

Lord Clarke was accused of being "somewhat blasé" when he gave evidence to the inquiry about the collection of blood from prisoners as late as 1983.

His manner was described as "argumentative", "unfairly dismissive" and "disparaging" towards those who have suffered, with Sir Brian saying he played "some part" in that suffering.

The report said it was "regrettable that he could not moderate his natural combative style in expressing views".

Others named include:

• The Thatcher government;
  
• Treloar School;
  
• Alder Hey Children's Hospital;
  
• Professor Arthur Bloom;
  
• The NHS.

The infected blood scandal was "not an accident" and its failures lie with "successive governments, the NHS, and blood services", a public inquiry has found.

More than 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C from 1970 to 1991 after being given contaminated blood products and transfusions - about 3,000 of whom have since died.

Sir Brian Langstaff, who chaired the inquiry, said the scale of what happened was "horrifying".

On the Sky News Daily, Matt Barbet talks to Sky's health correspondent Ashish Joshi about the report and Rosamund Cooper who was given blood products contaminated with Hepatitis C.

In January 2023, Rishi Sunak made five promises.

Since then, he and his ministers have rarely missed an opportunity to list them. In case you haven't heard, he promised to:

• Halve inflation
• Grow the economy
• Reduce debt
• Cut NHS waiting lists and times
• Stop the boats

See below how he is doing on these goals:
