PM Scrambles to Calm Tory MPs

Rishi Sunak has vowed to introduce emergency legislation to ban foreign courts from blocking Britain's deportation of illegal migrants to Rwanda. This comes after the Supreme Court ruled that Rwanda was not a safe third nation to deport migrants to. The move is an attempt to calm Tory MPs who are ready to revolt over the defeat.

Strengthening the Deal

Despite the Supreme Court ruling, Rishi Sunak has stood by the £140 million removal scheme and is working to strengthen the deal. He stated that if the domestic legal frameworks or international conventions continue to frustrate the plans, he is prepared to change laws and revisit international relationships, including Britain's membership of the European Convention of Human Rights.

New Treaty with Rwanda

Under the new treaty Britain wants to strike with Rwanda, even refugees who fail asylum processing will be given a legal right to settle there. This is in contrast to the existing deal where they could be sent back to their potentially unsafe home country. The defeat marks a significant blow to the PM's pledge to stop the boats ahead of an expected showdown general election next year.

Tory MP Anger

Ex-Cabinet Minister Sir Simon Clarke has warned that the PM's response to the Supreme Court ruling will be viewed as a "confidence issue" and threatened a full-scale Tory revolt. Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson suggested that the Government should "ignore the laws" and send migrants back the same day they arrive in the UK.

Existential Threat to the Party

Fellow Tory Danny Kruger warned that the Supreme Court judgement could mean the end of the party. He stated that the court has overridden the sovereign decision of the British people and that the government must respond in the most robust way possible. Kruger called for immediate legislative action to give effect to the will of the public and Parliament.

Possible Scenarios

Yesterday, No10 revealed that ministers had been war-gaming potential outcomes and drafting contingencies. Rishi Sunak's spokesman stated that they have options for possible scenarios.
