rwanda vote? it is about rishi sunak�*s plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda.come certain legal obligations the plan has met. the opposition parties say they will vote against, but rishi sunak has a decent majority. his issue is some tory mps don't like this bill. what are their concerns? they come from two directions really. some reassurances this will respect international law, others say the bill doesn't go far enough in avoiding further legal challenges. why is this happening now? last month, the uk supreme court ruled the africa scheme is unlawful, it cited concerns that rwanda could send asylum seekers to places where they could come to harm. what does they could come to harm. what does the bill say, it says through is a safe country for asylum seekers, it prevents judges from concluding otherwise. and to do that, it bypasses certain existing uk laws, including parts of the human rights act. what happens if it is defeated? this would be a blow for rishi sunak, he has made this plan a priority and if there is a defeat, it will come in part because of the a

when it comes to the specific issue of deporting or sending to rwanda potential asylum—seekers — to setovernment was really hoping to hit home an advantage on being tough on immigration issues, to have a senior minister responsible for the issue resigning would not be a good look. and i should broaden this out that the problem is for rishi sunak, the prime minister, it's notjust people on the right on this issue like mr jenrick and suella braverman who have been rather unhappy that it doesn't go far enough — some would view the more moderate wing of the governing conservative party saying hang on a minute, maybe this legislation actually goes too far in the way that it disciplines human rights and makes britain look like not the country they would like it to look. so whichever way mr sunak looks, he's potentially got problems on his hands on both wings of the party. on his hands on both wings of the -a . ., , on his hands on both wings of the party. rob, thank you so much for talkin: us party. rob, thank you so much for talking us through _ party. rob, thank you so much for talking us t

the policy — first announced in april 2022 — would see some asylum seekers sent to rwanda to claim asylumit hit legal setbacks and was blocked in its previous form by the uk supreme court. after signing the agreement during a visit to kigali, the home secretary james cleverly said he believed the new treaty addressed all the concerns raised by the supreme court. he said he can't see "any credible reason" to question rwanda's human rights record, and hopes the first migrant flights will go there in spring 202a. £140 million has already been paid by the uk to rwanda for the implementation of the policy. fundamentally the supreme court raised two issues. one was about the capacity of the rwandan judicial system. we have been working on that for over a year. we started to address that at the time of the appeal courtjudgment. the rwandans have been very, very good partners. we put both processes and structures in place which give us the reassurance of the integrity, the impartiality and professionalism of the rwandan judicial system. and also about the nonrefoulement, that is basically a techn

it therefore creates a legal fiction, its title the safety of rwanda asylum and immigration bill giveshe game away, according to bill rwanda is safe even if it isn't safe because the government through the bill says it is safe. but declaring somewhere safe doesn't make it of itself safe. you can no more change reality by law or legal dictate than you can by mere imagination, as polling brook saysin mere imagination, as polling brook says in richard ii you cannot cloy the hungry edge of appetite by bare imagination november a feast. you can't make rwanda safe by saying it. so clause two's declaration... is utterly fat use, if rwanda is now or in the future in fact safe, the provision deeming it safe is or will at that point be oat owes or reason don't but if rwanda is not now or in the future safe that is wrong in fact and therefore wrong in principle. so, clause two is either unnecessary or wrong, or both, simultaneously. fourthly, the bill establishing in uk law a new doctrine of the separation of powers as the clauses which preventjudges and tribunals from supervising the conduct of

the uk, the prime minister rishi sunak is under growing pressure over his plans to send asylum seekers to rwandalished new legislation which it says will allow it to send asylum seekers to rwanda, despite previous ruling by the supreme court. robertjenrick — who was until last week the immigration minister responsible for the plans — says he won't support the government in a key vote on the issue on tuesday. our political correspondent peter saull has more. why did you resign? this time last week, he was a loyal member of rishi sunak�*s government. but the ex—immigration minister is now on the opposing side of the argument to those who used to share the cabinet table with. in his first interview since resigning, robertjenrick explained why he believes legislation designed to resurrect the rwanda plant will fail. we've already done two bills. this is the third bill. it's three strikes or you're out. i want this bill to work and create that powerful deterrent. i'm afraid it's very clear to all those people who really understand how this system operates, that this bill will not succeed. and he's ce

the points in the supreme court raised when it challenged the government's plans to send asylum seekers to rwandan that some asylum seekers may wrongly be sent back from rwanda to their home countries, potentially facing consequences for them there. that is one of the things the treaty was meant to address. now, separately to that, the government has been working up new legislation to try and get through parliament. again, trying to tackle some of the issues that have been raised by the supreme court. there been a lot of pressure on the government, particularly from right—wing mps on the government, particularly from right—wing mp5 on the conservative party make that legislation essentially say that the government can override and ignore all kinds of international treaties, human rights laws which are currently blocking the plan from getting through. that in itself has been controversial, there are some in the conservative party you don't think that is the answer, he don't think the government should be looking to, for example, lever exempt itself from the european convention on human rights. we
