Rishi Sunak is expected to address the nation today just hours after MPs voted in favour of the Prime Minister’s flagship Rwanda plan.
The Prime Minister is set to speak at a press conference this morning before taking questions.
Sunak faced a major Tory rebellion on Tuesday, as rebels warned his legislation was “fatally flawed”.
MPs voted by 320 to 276 to support Sunak’s proposed legislation in its third reading.
The Prime Minister’s 44-majority victory came at a price, with 11 Tory MPs voting against Sunak’s plan.
Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman and ex-Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick voted against the Safety of Rwanda Bill.
Tory rebels yesterday also unsuccessfully tabled four amendments looking to create less wriggle room for individual appeals and prevent interference from the European Court of Human Rights.
