Rightwing Tories’ Rwanda demands risks reopening party divisions

Moderates Conservatives push back against amendments seeking to end migrants' legal challenges

A damaging row over Rishi Sunak's asylum policy has been reignited after ministers announced that the Rwanda bill will return to the Commons next week.

The prime minister came under pressure from rightwing Tory MPs, including Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick, to accept amendments that would limit individual challenges by migrants and prevent the European court of human rights from blocking deportation flights to central Africa.
