Prior to voting in Rwanda Rishi Sunak to face PMQs

Rishi Sunak will talk to Keir Starmer before a vote on the Rwanda bill tonight.

Two Conservative Party deputy chairmen and a ministerial aide quit their roles on Tuesday to go against the bill.

Even though some people are against it, the people in charge are still sure that the whole bill will be approved in a vote tonight.
If the bill is approved, it will then be sent to the House of Lords where they can suggest changes.

The law wants to bring back the government’s idea to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda and stop people from crossing the Channel in small boats.

Lee Anderson and Brendan Clarke-Smith, who were deputy chairs, left their positions to join around 60 Tory MPs supporting a change that made the law stricter.

At least four members of the Conservative party, including former cabinet ministers Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman, have said they are ready to vote against the bill if it is not made better.

PMQs starts at 12:00 GMT. You can watch it on this page by clicking Play at the top.
