More Tory divisions on show over Sunak's Rwanda policy
Ahead of PMQs and the publication of the government's Rwanda legislation in the coming days, further evidence has emerged of the divisions within the Conservative Party over the issue.
Cleverly's predecessor, Suella Braverman, who's expected to make a personal statement in the Commons later after she was sacked by Sunak last month, has argued the UK must override human rights law to push through the plan.
But some MPs from the One Nation Caucus, which has a current membership of 106 Conservative MPs, have described this as a "red line" and urged the PM to ignore such calls.
What is the UK's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda?
In short, it’s part of the government's wider efforts to deter migrants from crossing the English Channel in small boats.
As we’ve been reporting, the government says its new deal with Rwanda guarantees that any asylum-seekers sent there are not at risk of being sent to a third country where they could face harm.
It has also announced a new independent monitoring committee, to ensure Rwanda complies with the treaty, and a new appeal body.
The government is preparing emergency legislation to declare that Rwanda is a safe country, but legal experts have questioned how that might work.
Former Supreme Court judge Lord Jonathan Sumption told the BBC that the government's plan to get round the Supreme Court ruling (that the policy is unlawful) this way was "profoundly discreditable" and it would still be a breach of the government's obligations under international law.

While we wait for this week’s PMQs to begin, here’s a quick breakdown of the migration-related policies that have been announced by Home Secretary James Cleverly this week.
The minimum salary needed to get a skilled worker visa for the UK is increasing to £38,700 - an increase of more than 30% on the current level
Health and social care visas will be exempt from the new higher threshold, in order to meet NHS staffing needs, but care workers will no longer be allowed to bring their dependents to the UK
The "shortage occupation list" is being reformed, with a reduced number of jobs that can be filled by overseas workers
And the salary level for a family visa - separate to work and student visas - is also rising to £38,700
Signed a new legally binding treaty, which the government says will ensure people relocated to Rwanda are not at risk of being returned to a country where their life or freedom will be threatened.

Hello, you join us with about half an hour to go until this week’s Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs), where we’ll see Rishi Sunak take questions from opposition leaders and other MPs.
James Cleverly was also in East Africa yesterday, signing a new deal with Rwanda, as the government continues its bid to send asylum seekers there who attempt to enter the UK illegally.
It’s thought MPs, including Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, will use their questions today to grill Sunak about the new measures - what they mean, how they’ll work, etc.
I’m here in our London newsroom, along with colleagues at Westminster, ready to bring you the latest updates.

More Tory divisions on show over Sunak's Rwanda policy
Ahead of PMQs and the publication of the government's Rwanda legislation in the coming days, further evidence has emerged of the divisions within the Conservative Party over the issue.
Yesterday, Home Secretary James Cleverly signed a new treaty with Rwanda, designed to satisfy the UK Supreme Court's concerns about human rights which led it to rule that plans to send some asylum seekers to the country were unlawful.
Cleverly's predecessor, Suella Braverman, who's expected to make a personal statement in the Commons later after she was sacked by Sunak last month, has argued the UK must override human rights law to push through the plan.
But some MPs from the One Nation Caucus, which has a current membership of 106 Conservative MPs, have described this as a "red line" and urged the PM to ignore such calls.

Hello, you join us with about half an hour to go until this week’s Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs), where we’ll see Rishi Sunak take questions from opposition leaders and other MPs.
It comes a couple of days after a range of new policies were announced by Sunak’s home secretary aimed at tackling migration to the UK, which reached a record-high of 745,000 last year.
James Cleverly was also in East Africa yesterday, signing a new deal with Rwanda, as the government continues its bid to send asylum seekers there who attempt to enter the UK illegally.
It’s thought MPs, including Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, will use their questions today to grill Sunak about the new measures - what they mean, how they’ll work, etc.
