Controversy Surrounds Sunak's Rwanda Plan as Tories Doubt Its Legality

Senior Tories are warning that Rishi Sunak's emergency Rwanda plan, aimed at deporting migrants arriving in the UK by small boats, will not become law in its current form. Liberal Tories have expressed "serious concerns" about the plan, while a group of legal figures examining the proposals for the Tory right has found problems that are difficult to resolve. Despite Tory whips expecting enough support to win the first vote on Tuesday, there is nervousness among moderate Tories that Sunak's course of action has united his opponents and could jeopardize his leadership. Concerns from both liberal and right-wing factions of the party are hardening against the proposals, with some MPs suggesting a rebellion could defeat the bill.
