Rwanda Bill suffers further defeats as Welby told to ‘check his white privilege’
Peers have inflicted further heavy defeats against Rishi Sunak’s proposed Rwanda asylum law as the Archbishop of Canterbury – a leading critic of the legislation – was told to “check his white privilege”.
The House of Lords backed by 278 votes to 189, majority 89, a move to overturn the Government plan to oust the courts from the process.
It effectively blows a hole in the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill which is intended to prevent continued legal challenges ruled the plan was unlawful.
