Rishi Sunak's Risky Rwanda Asylum Plan Faces Tory Opposition

Rishi Sunak, the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, is facing opposition within his own Conservative Party over the proposed Rwanda scheme to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. The fate of the scheme depends on the passage of the Safety of Rwanda Bill, but MPs from different factions of the party, including the centrist One Nation group and the right-wing European Research Group (ERG), are divided on the issue. Legal advice is being sought, and rebellion looms as MPs consider whether to back the bill or amend it. Sunak's attempt to rally support through a news conference has not calmed tensions among MPs, reminiscent of the challenges faced by previous Tory prime ministers.
