"UK's Rwanda Plan Faces Key Tests and Criticism from Archbishop and Lords"
TL;DR Summary
The House of Lords is debating Rishi Sunak's controversial Rwanda bill, which aims to halt legal challenges against sending asylum seekers to Rwanda.

The bill has exposed divisions within the Conservative party, with some MPs rebelling against it and others supporting it as a deterrent to illegal migration.
