"Sunak's Rwanda asylum plan faces parliamentary showdown and potential failure"

TL;DR Summary
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces a crucial parliamentary vote on his plan to send asylum seekers to live in Rwanda. The move has divided his party, with some lawmakers wanting to ban legal appeals against deportation. Sunak's Conservatives, already trailing in the polls, risk defeat if around 30 Conservative MPs vote against the bill. The plan has been criticized by opposition leader Keir Starmer as an "expensive gimmick." The UK Supreme Court ruled last month that Rwanda was an unsafe destination, and the policy would breach British and international law.
