The British House of Commons is currently deliberating on the controversial Rwanda bill, aimed at facilitating the deportation of asylum-seekers to Africa, irrespective of their origin. Critics argue that the bill undermines human rights, violates international legal obligations, and represents a power grab by the government. Labour MPs have proposed an amendment to exempt Afghan forces who served with UK forces from deportation under this bill. However, Conservative MPs, under directives from the Prime Minister, are expected to vote against this amendment. Voting on the Rwanda Bill and its amendments began at 8 pm and continued until 10 pm, with Labour supporting improvements to the bill and Conservatives opposing them. Despite efforts, an amendment to protect Afghan forces from deportation was defeated by Conservative MPs.

Conservative MPs have just defeated an amendment to the Rwanda Bill that would have seen Afghan forces who fought alongside UK armed forces personnel prevented from being deported to Rwanda. Labour backed the amendment.
Votes on the Rwanda Bill started at 8pm and will go until 10pm. Labour is voting for the amendments to improve this awful Bill. The Tories are defeating every amendment. They may be winning the votes, but the bill is still unworkable, expensive and cruel. https://t.co/eP3SCCx0fA
