Rishi Sunak wins key vote, but Rwanda plan battle still on

[Collection]PM Rishi Sunak survived a major threat to his leadership on Tuesday, advancing his flagship immigration policy over the objections of hard-right factions in his Conservative Party. But the victory may prove fleeting as he faces several more hurdles to the plan, which would deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda. While about two dozen Conservative lawmakers abstained or voted against the policy, the party's 56-seat majority ensured that it went through by a vote of 313-269. That will have been a relief to Sunak.
