The British Conservatives’ crisis over Rwanda is a rerun of Brexit

The Conservative Party is again in a state of self-inflicted crisis. On December 6th Robert Jenrick, an immigration minister, resigned from the government of Rishi Sunak. The cause was Mr Sunak’s attempt to implement a deal with Rwanda to deport asylum-seekers who arrive in Britain on small boats. Proposed legislation to stop the courts from blocking flights to Rwanda, as they have thus far, was too weak, Mr Jenrick said.
