Rishi Sunak's Political Maneuvers: Navigating Rebellion and Humiliation

TL;DR Summary
UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak is attempting to appease disgruntled Tory MPs to prevent a rebellion over his Rwanda deportation plan, which has cost £290 million. The emergency bill, which designates Rwanda as a safe place to deport asylum seekers, has faced criticism from both the left and right of the Conservative Party. The cost of the plan has more than doubled, with the government providing an additional £100 million to Rwanda. A crucial vote on the bill next Tuesday could determine Sunak's future as Prime Minister, with just 29 rebel Tories needed to defeat the government.
