Bill passes with a majority of 44 but prime minister faces further peril in the new year
Rishi Sunak narrowly avoided a major rebellion by rightwing Conservative MPs after they abstained on his controversial Rwanda bill but the prime minister faces further peril in the new year.
In a blow to Sunak’s authority, more than two-dozen Tory rightwingers abstained in the vote on deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, including the former home secretary Suella Braverman.
