Is Sunak strong enough politically to defy some of the pressure from different wings of his party on the Illegal Migration Bill?
by the end of this year, some MPs think this Bill is doomed unless it is as hard as possible.
However, some One Nation Tories only signed up to the Illegal Migration Bill precisely because it didn’t go down the hardline route of effectively signalling withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights. That’s why it was all the more strange that Downing Street on Monday tried to kill off hopes of Government concessions on safe routes. “The view remains that in order to do that we first need to get a grip on those crossing illegally so we can plan and make a proper decision about the numbers of people the country, local authorities, councils, GPs, are able to deal with each year,” the PM’s spokesman said.
On the day the Bill was launched, One Nation Conservatives emerged from a breakfast meeting with Sunak saying they were pleased something was being done to tackle the people trafficking gangs and to reduce the risk of a tragedy in the Channel.
