UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is set to spend the weekend trying to convince Conservative MPs to back new legislation on the government’s Rwanda migration plan. The new bill is meant to resurrect the Government’s flagship policy of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda, but has angered many on the right of his party. Last month the plan was ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court, but Rishi Sunak insists the new legislation deals with the concerns raised by judges. Financial Times’ political editor George Parker says the Prime Minister faces a major challenge.
