UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has urged Conservative MPs to back his Rwanda asylum plan, after senior Tories warned him it was doomed to fail.
Sunak was forced to call a news conference to shore up his authority after Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick quit over the revised policy, saying a law aimed at reviving the policy "did not go far enough”.
The PM said he was wrong - but insisted a Commons vote on the bill next week would not be a matter of confidence in his government.
