Reports suggest several 'rebel' Tory MPs have submitted letters of 'no confidence in Rishi Sunak's leadership.

The Government's Rwanda policy vote was passed last night, securing a majority of 44 votes, but there was a small group of Conservatives to vote against the Prime Ministers plans.

11 Tories, including former home secretary Suella Braverman, voted against the Prime Minister's immigration plan.

Rishi Sunak will hold a press conference later .

With the legislation now set to move to the House of Lords, where serious opposition is expected, Mr Sunak is likely to urge peers to pass the Bill as soon as possible.
