Sunak faces tests on economy, Rwanda and Tory discontent

Rishi Sunak is facing a crucial week with tests over the government’s Rwanda scheme and the economy amid Tory discontent over his leadership.

The Prime Minister has urged mutinous Tory MPs to “stick to the plan” as reports emerge of a plot to oust him before the election.

The Prime Minister is seeking to shift the political debate to the gradually improving economic outlook in an attempt to shore up his premiership, with ministers hoping the Rwanda legislation will become law this week.
