Rwanda Bill Revolt (again)

Available for over a year

Today, we look at the return of the Rwanda Bill as the Prime Minister faces a significant potential rebellion from his own side. More than 40 Tory MPs on the right of the party, including Liz Truss, argue the legislation must be toughened up. But former justice secretary Sir Robert Buckland, from the centrist One Nation group of MPs, has backed three changes which would tone down some measures. James and Chris talk to Robert Jenrick the former Immigration Minister who resigned over the policy in December. And they are joined by Conservative Peer Lord Ed Vaizey, Pollster Scarlett Maguire and Former Labour MP Mary Creagh to discuss the coming weeks and months in Westminster.
