TL;DR Summary

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces a crucial week as he appears before a COVID-19 inquiry and seeks to win a parliamentary vote on his plan to revive a policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. The proposed legislation has divided his Conservative Party, with moderate politicians concerned about human rights obligations and right-wing lawmakers wanting a more aggressive approach.

If he loses the vote, Sunak's authority will be weakened, but a snap election is not currently being considered.
