UK Parliament Approves Sunak's Controversial Asylum Plan for Rwanda

TL;DR Summary
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak narrowly wins a parliamentary vote on his plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, despite facing rebellion from his own Conservative Party members. The victory highlights the deep divisions within the party, with moderate Conservatives concerned about breaching human rights obligations and right-wing politicians arguing that the plan does not go far enough. Sunak's struggle to maintain control over his party comes as the Conservatives trail the opposition Labour Party in the polls ahead of an expected election next year.
