Sunak defends new Rwanda plan as he battles to maintain authority<\/h3>\n

Allies of Rishi Sunak have launched a furious fightback accusing Tory rebels of only having an agenda to bring down the Prime Minister and not really caring about illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

With Mr Sunak desperately clinging on to his Premiership by his fingernails as MPs decide whether to call for a leadership confidence vote, his supporters have dubbed rebels “insane” and “bent on destroying the Conservative Party from inside.”<\/p>\n

One veteran backbencher who is backing the Prime Minister told Express.co.uk: “I told my whip that any rebel who votes against this Rwanda Bill should be put up against a wall and castrated.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a minister said: “The only thing [rebels] will achieve is to destroy the Conservative Party.<\/p>\n

“We were all essentially hoping for a soft landing and minimising an election defeat but this lot seem bent on destroying the Conservative Party from the inside.<\/p>\n

“It’s insane! We will be wiped out at this rate.”<\/p>\n

Another senior Government insider accused Suella Braverman and her supporters of only being interested in a coup alleging she had achieved nothing in 14 months as Home Secretary apart from “loud rhetoric”.<\/p>\n

The senior Government source said: “They have long ago chosen their course of action and goal: the defeat of the bill by Parliament or courts, the loss of an election and the emergence of Suella in a haze of glory.<\/p>\n

“Right now though and what\u2019s actually in the Bill is irrelevant to them. It is simply the vehicle for either long-held desires to leave ECHR or short-held wishes to bring down Rishi. Actually tackling illegal immigration was always lowest on their list.<\/p>\n

“The evidence is a past 14 months of headlines gained for not doing very much on either legal or illegal migration.<\/p>\n

“Compared to 4 weeks ending in: in Monday a tough package on legal migration, Tuesday a new treaty with Rwanda and Wednesday a bill to make that policy deliver, on top of the work already done to, cut boats crossings by a third.”<\/p>\n
