"Tory Deputy Chairmen Support Beefing Up Rwanda Bill, Sunak Faces Major Rebellion"
Two deputy Conservative chairmen, Lee Anderson and Brendan Clarke-Smith, have announced their support for rebel amendments to PM Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill, joining over 60 right-wing Tory MPs. The bill aims to revive the plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, which was previously ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court. The proposed amendments are not expected to pass, and if rejected, rebel backbenchers will have to decide whether to support the bill without the changes they want. The government's Rwanda policy has faced criticism from both sides of the Conservative Party, with concerns about legal challenges and international law.
