Government pressing for unamended passage of the Rwanda bill despite opposition attempts for changes in asylum scheme.

Tory grandee Ken Clarke criticizes Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill and warns about the dangers of overturning a Supreme Court ruling.

The Safety of Rwanda bill passed its first hurdle in the House of Lords but is expected to face more opposition as peers attempt to amend it next month.

Defiant Lords sent back Rishi Sunak's Rwanda Bill with changes to protect Afghan heroes and ensure safety assessments.

MPs rejected amendments to Rwanda Bill regarding deportation of asylum seekers who aided UK troops, setting a clash with the Lords.

Peers in the House of Lords voted in favor of changes to the controversial Rwanda Bill.

The Rwanda Bill, if passed, could lead to the deportation of asylum seekers to Rwanda via illegal routes.

Lee Anderson and two other MPs have resigned from the Conservative party due to irreconcilable differences around immigration and the Rwanda policy.

Rishi Sunak is expected to prevail in the vote on the Rwanda bill, but the headcount of possible rebels is being constantly refreshed.

Tory MP Nick Fletcher has faced criticism for claiming immigration has turned parts of the UK into a ghetto and that NHS waiting lists are long in some areas due to a lack of English speakers.

Fletcher's remarks drew comparisons to Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech and were described as repugnant and appalling by other MPs.

The debate occurred during a discussion on the government's Rwanda bill, which passed despite a rebellion.

Conservative rebellion against Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill melts away, allowing the legislation to pass its final Commons hurdle.

Sunak will face further challenges from peers in the House of Lords and legal challenges from individuals threatened with deportation to Rwanda.

Rishi Sunak's plan to halt boats carrying migrants across the English Channel is at risk due to the Home Office declaring Turkey an unsafe country.

The proposed returns deal with Turkey is in jeopardy due to concerns over their anti-terrorism laws, unfair trials, and allegations of torture in the judicial system.

Officials are considering alternative ways to address the small boats crisis, including potentially leaving the European Court of Human Rights and implementing provisions within the Rwanda bill.

Senior Conservative Lee Anderson regrets not backing Rishi Sunak over the Rwanda bill and would take back his old job if asked.

No 10 hinted that Mr Sunak is open to bringing back Mr Anderson in a senior party role despite the turmoil of the past week.

Conservative whips warned party moderates that if the Rwanda bill failed, it could be the end of Rishi Sunak's premiership.

The prime minister faces rebellions from both right-wing and centrist members of his party over the bill's provisions on deportation and legal appeals.

A revolt by Conservative MPs could potentially defeat the government's Rwanda bill, something that has not happened since 1986.

Defeat at the second reading would prevent the bill from being reintroduced in the same parliamentary session, endangering the government's ability to address court challenges to its Rwanda policy.
