Supreme Court blocks UK's asylum-seeker plan, undermining Tory project

The UK's Supreme Court has ruled that the government's plan to deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda is unlawful, dealing a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's migration policy. The court unanimously sided with a previous ruling that found the policy to be illegal, stating that Rwanda is not a safe country to send asylum-seekers due to the risk of ill-treatment and the country's poor human rights record. The ruling has sparked calls from the right-wing of the Conservative Party to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. The decision has been celebrated by humanitarian groups, but it sets the stage for a bitter round of infighting within the ruling party.
