Sunak pushed by Tory right to revive Rwanda proposals before Christmas
The Guardian
|November 28, 2023
Rishi Sunak is facing fresh pressure from Conservative MPs close to Suella Braverman, who are writing to him to demand "radical" new polices before Christmas on limiting immigration.
The MPs from the rightwing Common Sense Group are writing to the prime minister to press for "urgent" action on legal migration numbers, and seek assurances that a promised bill to overcome the supreme court's rejection of the Rwanda plan can resist future legal challenges.
"If they want to get it on the statute books it has to be very soon. It has to be before Christmas, before the house [of Commons] rises," said one MP.
The intervention comes as the immigration minister was forced to defend the home secretary from criticism by Conservative backbenchers angered by James Cleverly's confession that he was frustrated by a "fixation" on the Rwanda policy.
Robert Jenrick - who was taunted by the opposition over reports he is on "resignation watch" over his push for a firmer migration line - told Tory MPs the move to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda remained "an important part of the government's plans. Cleverly said at the weekend that it was "not the be-all and endall" of policy.
