Sunak on Rwanda policy: My patience with this has worn thin
BBC political editor Chris Mason asked the PM if he was telling his MPs to “back me or sack me” over getting his Rwanda returns policy into law.
Hours after now-former Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick stood down, Rishi Sunak said his government had “made progress” with small boats crossings down by a third.
He said “we have got to end the legal merry-go-round” that had blocked his policies getting through.
He added: “We must have a deterrent.”
Rwanda law will work, insists Sunak, but legal challenges still possible
