Rishi Sunak is facing a Conservative meltdown over the
Rwanda deportation bill after two deputy chairs said they would support rebel amendments aimed at blocking international human rights laws.
Lee Anderson and Brendan Clarke-Smith have defied the prime minister by backing rightwing challenges to the bill, which will be debated by parliament on Tuesday. They will join as many as 70 other MPs said to be considering abstaining or opposing the controversial legislation.
The move came as Sunak attempted to limit the damage to the safety of
Rwanda bill by threatening to ignore injunctions from the European court of human rights that block deportation flights to Rwanda.
Anderson, the MP for Ashfield who was appointed to the job last February, confirmed he will join a possible rebellion. He said he would be voting for amendments tabled by Robert Jenrick, who
resigned as the immigration minister over the legislation, and the veteran Tory Sir Bill Cash.
