The UK Parliament is currently engaged in heated debates over the Rwanda Bill, which aims to declare Rwanda a safe destination for deported asylum seekers. The bill has faced strong opposition, with critics labeling it as cruel, immoral, and unworkable. Despite a unanimous ruling by the Supreme Court declaring it unlawful, the government is pushing for its passage. The House of Commons has rejected a series of amendments proposed by the House of Lords aimed at modifying the bill. These amendments were intended to address concerns about the bill's impact on asylum seekers and its alignment with democratic values. The legislation is expected to return to the Lords for further consideration, with the possibility of additional amendments being proposed.

MPs are now voting on amendments to the Rwanda Bill. This is terrible piece of legislation. I voted against it at every opportunity and now I’m voting for the Lords amendments to improve it. Rishi Sunak is whipping his MPs to vote down every amendment. https://t.co/d7JCGxsz2H
NEW Members House of Lords are only expected to insist on four - down from the current six - amendments to the Safety of Rwanda Bill when it is returned there by MPs tomorrow, a senior Tory peer has told me tonight. Government whips will be delighted. The weakening of the peers'…
The House of Commons have started voting on Rwanda amendments, overturning them one by one - before the legislation returns to the Lords tomorrow. Expect peers to have one more go, with maybe 3 more amendments.
Back in Westminster after Easter to the Govt pushing the Rwanda Bill despite the Supreme Court unanimous ruling it unlawful. This bill does little to address the issue of criminal traffickers but instead puts asylum seekers at risk. I stand firmly against it. #RwandaBill
