Westminster Vote and Implications: Insights from Deputy Editor of Conservative Home

Rishi Sunak’s plan to “stop the boats” by sending some migrants to Rwanda has scraped through the House of Commons. The bill aims to address the issues raised by the Supreme Court, which ruled against the original plans last month.

The vote on the bill, which will designate Rwanda as a safe country for asylum seekers, came after intense debate in the Commons which highlighted the deep fractures within the Conservative Party.

Today on the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks with our chief political correspondent, Jon Craig, about what this means for the UK’s migration policy, and with the deputy editor of ConservativeHome, Henry Hill, about whether Rishi Sunak will be able to unite the warring Tory factions.
