The UK Prime Minister is battling opposition within his own party as he defends a policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, while also preparing to face a COVID-19 inquiry.
- UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing a critical week as he battles to unite his divided party over a controversial policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
- Sunak's policy, which is due for a parliamentary vote, has been met with opposition from both moderate and right-wing members of his Conservative Party.
- The policy was ruled unlawful by the UK's Supreme Court last month, citing potential human rights violations.
- Sunak is also due to appear before a COVID-19 inquiry, where he will be questioned about his response to the pandemic.
- There is growing talk of ousting Sunak from within his own party, with some backbenchers keen to reinstall either Boris Johnson or an ally of Liz Truss.
