TL;DR Summary

Former UK immigration minister Robert Jenrick has announced that he will not vote for Rishi Sunak's bill aimed at deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, stating that it would not work and needed to go further in setting aside human rights law. This is a blow to the prime minister, as the bill's passage is likely to hinge on the votes of Jenrick and other right-wing MPs. There is growing talk of a potential ousting of the prime minister before the election by plotters within his own party, with some backbenchers considering reinstalling Boris Johnson or an ally of Liz Truss.
