Rishi Sunak squeaks through in key Rwanda vote despite Tory infighting

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:38:25 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak won a key House of Commons vote on his contentious Rwanda legislation Tuesday — but with a reduced majority, as Tory disputes threatened to boil over.The British parliament passed Sunak’s Rwanda Safety Bill by 313 to 269 in an evening vote at an early parliamentary stage, which is usually a formality. However, Conservatives on both sides of the party had criticized the plan in the lead up to the vote, and the legislation still faces a tricky path to becoming law.

The embattled U.K. prime minister staked his premiership on the troubled Rwanda plan, which aims to permanently send asylum seekers to the central African nation. No flights have ever successfully taken off and the scheme — first announced in 2022 — was judged illegal by the U.K. Supreme Court last month.The PM put forward the emergency legislation in an effort to override judges’...
