"UK's Controversial Rwanda Plan: Costs Soar to £500m Despite House of Lords Scrutiny"

The UK government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda faces a challenging House of Lords vote, with amendments being proposed to challenge the government's assessment of Rwanda's safety and protect specific groups. The bill is expected to face defeats in the Lords but may be overturned in the House of Commons. The government aims to complete the legislative process by the end of the month, prompting speculation about a potential general election. Meanwhile, Home Secretary James Cleverly is attending a meeting in Brussels to discuss cross-channel illegal migration, following a tragic incident involving a young girl.
