UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's controversial Rwanda migration plan faces significant challenges as it undergoes scrutiny in the House of Lords. The legislation, which aims to revive the government's scheme to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, has already suffered a symbolic defeat in the Lords. The upper chamber is expected to table dozens of amendments that could delay the 'unacceptable' bill for months. Prominent critics, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, are set to condemn the bill, with votes on the matter scheduled for today. Sunak has warned the Lords against opposing 'the will of the people', but commentators like Rod Liddle from TalkTV are skeptical, suggesting that no transfers to Rwanda might occur this year.
