Rwanda plan: What’s next after Sunak wins vote?
Rishi Sunak’s flagship Rwanda plan has passed a key vote amongst MPs by 320 votes to 276.
Enough MPs backed the government's key Safety of Rwanda Bill, meaning a touted rebellion by a group of Conservative MPs failed to materialise.
The BBC’s Peter Saull explains what this means for the prime minister’s authority and the prospect of asylum flights taking off for Rwanda.
