Rishi Sunak calls press conference after Rwanda bill passes Commons

Rishi Sunak will hold a press conference this morning after his flagship Rwanda bill survived a Tory rebellion last night.

Downing Street went into the third reading vote knowing it had seen off a potentially damaging defeat after the majority of rebels signalled they would back it even without any amendments being accepted.

The Bill will now move to the House of Lords where it is expected to face serious opposition.
