TL;DR Summary

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing a revolt in the UK Parliament over his immigration policy, specifically the plan to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda. At the same time, Sunak is also being questioned about his judgment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The legislation to salvage the Rwanda plan faces a vote in the House of Commons, while Sunak undergoes scrutiny at the pandemic inquiry. Sunak denies taking risks with public health and defends his decision-making. The plan has already been ruled illegal by the UK Supreme Court, and opposition to the bill comes from both centrist and hard-line Conservative lawmakers. Defeat in the vote would threaten Sunak's leadership and the future of the Rwanda plan.
