UK PM Sunak faces leadership test over Rwanda plan

LONDON: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday sought to avoid a humiliating defeat for his latest plans to send migrants to Rwanda that have split his ruling Conservative party.
The Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill is Sunak answer to a unanimous Supreme Court ruling last month that deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda was illegal in international law.
Interior minister James Cleverly admitted the plans were "novel" and "pushing at the edge of the envelope" but addressed the court concerns.
