Major Blow to the Prime Minister
Tory right-wingers are challenging Rishi Sunak, warning that if his Rwanda plan is too weak and fails, it will be the end of the party. In a blow to the Prime Minister, the "star chamber" of Tory lawyers from the right rejected his plan as not "watertight".
"Unite or Die"
Earlier this week, the PM urged backbenchers to "unite or die" and support his Rwanda Bill. However, influential Tory rising stars Danny Kruger and Miriam Cates expressed concerns about the bill, stating that there are "big question marks" over it. They emphasized the importance of uniting against the real enemy, Labour, but also highlighted the need for a policy that actually works.
Influential Star Chamber Rejects PM's Plan
The influential star chamber, which advises the New Conservatives, also came out against the PM's plan, with Tory veteran Sir Bill Cash warning that it is not "watertight". The chamber's verdict has thrown the PM's Rwanda plans into turmoil, as many Tory MPs were waiting for their advice before deciding whether to support the bill or not.
Plea for Unity
Home Secretary James Cleverly pleaded for unity among warring factions and urged them to back the bill. He emphasized that illegal immigration is unsafe, unfair, and unsustainable, and that the British people are fed up with it. Cleverly urged his colleagues to seize the moment and support the bill.
Sunak Vows to "Stop the Boats"
Rishi Sunak remains determined to push forward with his plan to stop illegal migration. He emphasized the importance of securing borders, thwarting smuggling gangs, and ending illegal migration. Some Tory right-wingers are supporting the bill and calling on others to do the same, stating that it is a step in the right direction and a priority for the British people.
The Biggest Crisis of Sunak's Premiership
Rishi Sunak now faces the biggest crisis of his premiership as he tries to convince his rebellious MPs not to vote down his flagship border plan. However, some Tory MPs are determined to oppose the bill and even topple Sunak from No10. There is a belief among some MPs that they have the numbers to defeat the bill.
