Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces a significant parliamentary challenge as lawmakers vote on his asylum seeker plan for Rwanda. About 30 Conservative MPs could rebel, posing a threat to Sunak’s premiership. The scheme, approved in 2022, faced Supreme Court rejection due to safety concerns about sending asylum seekers to Rwanda. Sunak responded by negotiating a new treaty and introducing emergency legislation to override human rights laws. The divisive legislation divides the party, with moderates concerned about human rights breaches and the far-right calling for a complete rewrite. Defeat would weaken Sunak’s party hold, an uncommon occurrence since 1986. Sunak, in office since last year, aims to curb boat arrivals, a key Brexit promise. Despite a 30% decrease in asylum seekers this year, they remain a visible challenge to the government’s border control efforts.
