"UK PM Sunak's Crucial Week: Uniting Divided Party and Tackling Rwanda Bill"
TL;DR
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces a pivotal week as he battles to unite his divided Conservative Party. He is set to appear before a COVID-19 inquiry and must win a crucial vote in parliament on his plan to revive a policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. The proposed legislation has faced opposition from both moderate and right-wing politicians within his party, with concerns about breaching human rights obligations and calls for a tougher approach. Sunak's authority is at stake, and losing any vote on the legislation could severely weaken his position.
