"UK Home Secretary Seeks Middle Ground in Controversial Rwanda Asylum Plan"

UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak is seeking a middle ground in emergency legislation to implement the Rwanda scheme, aimed at deporting migrants who arrive in the UK by irregular means. As pressure mounts to stop small boat crossings, centrist Tory MPs are publicly warning Sunak not to abandon international refugee and human rights treaties, while right-wing members of the party want a more hard-line approach. The Prime Minister is working to make the plan legally watertight following the Supreme Court's ruling against it, and the legislation will be scrutinized by all sides of the debate, including the right-wing European Research Group (ERG).
