"Sunak's Rwanda legislation faces uncertain odds of success"

Rishi Sunak's emergency legislation to remove migrants to Rwanda has been given a "50% at best" chance of success, according to an official legal assessment. The legislation, aimed at reviving the stalled £290 million policy, faces the risk of the European Court of Human Rights blocking removal flights. Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick has argued that the legislation will fail and called for Britain to leave international treaties such as the European Convention on Human Rights. The Prime Minister is facing opposition from divided Tory MPs, with some concerned about the safety of Rwanda and others wanting to disapply the European Convention on Human Rights. The legal advice suggests that asylum seekers will still be able to challenge their deportation based on individual circumstances.
