TL;DR Summary

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda has been approved by the UK Parliament, despite objections from hard-right factions within his Conservative Party. However, the plan still faces potential obstacles as it moves to the House of Lords, where it is likely to receive a hostile reception. Right-wing lawmakers in the House of Commons have also vowed to demand amendments to make the bill even more stringent. Critics argue that even if the legislation survives all challenges, the likelihood of a large number of asylum seekers being deported to Rwanda is small. The opposition Labour Party has pledged to abandon the plan if it comes to power.
