Description
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak vows that he will "get flights off the ground" as he holds a news conference on the government's controversial policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, a policy that has been beset with multiple court challenges. Speaking at a lectern that reads 'stop the boats' at Downing Street, Sunak insists his government's latest immigration plan will work and that the latest bill means that "our domestic courts will no longer be able to use any domestic or international law, including the Human Rights Act to stop us removing illegal migrants". The issue threatens to tear apart Sunak's ruling Conservatives, putting his position in jeopardy, and the press conference comes hot on the heels of the resignation of his immigration minister who said the policy does not go far enough.
