Splits have emerged within the Conservative Party over the proposed Rwanda legislation by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, ahead of its publication. This comes after Home Secretary James Cleverly signed a new treaty with Rwanda on Tuesday, following the Supreme Court's ruling that previous plans were unlawful.

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has argued that the UK must override human rights laws in order to push through the plan, contrary to the concerns raised by centrist Tory MPs. The Prime Minister has promised to address these concerns by introducing a bill to deal with the Supreme Court's reservations about the government's scheme to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Home Office minister Chris Philp has stated that emergency legislation will be announced by Rishi Sunak in a matter of days. This legislation is designed to work in conjunction with the new treaty between the UK and Rwanda, which will see the UK funding Rwandan authorities to process asylum applications for individuals who arrive in the UK.

Under the new agreement, the UK will also cover the expenses of British and Commonwealth judges overseeing the newly established appeals process, as well as the legal fees of anyone sent to Rwanda. The objective of the Rwanda scheme is to serve as a deterrent to individuals attempting to enter the UK via small boat crossings and to break the cycle of people smuggling.

However, the proposed legislation has drawn criticism from several quarters. Labour has pledged to scrap the policy if they win the next election, with party leader Sir Keir Starmer labeling it a "gimmick." Some centrist Tory MPs are concerned that Sunak may consider disregarding human rights law, as suggested by Suella Braverman, while others propose declaring Rwanda a safe country.

Rishi Sunak is reportedly seeking a middle ground between these options. Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has made a statement to MPs, emphasizing the need for the bill to block all legal challenges in order to facilitate the deportation of asylum seekers to Rwanda.

The One Nation Caucus, comprising 106 Conservative MPs, has urged the Prime Minister to think twice before overriding the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the Human Rights Act (HRA). They argue that these treaties are fundamental to protecting the UK's democratic legacy. The European Research Group (ERG), a prominent group among Brexit-supporting MPs, led by chair Mark Francois, insists on the legislation fully respecting the sovereignty of Parliament.

Former immigration minister Sir Simon Clarke has highlighted the frustration among his constituents regarding migration and argues that the current human rights framework, established in the late 1940s, did not anticipate the challenges faced today.

The emergency legislation aims to enable the government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda to proceed. However, critics contend that the proposed bill does not go far enough. The Conservative Party remains divided over the issue, with significant disagreements regarding human rights, sovereignty, and the efficacy of the Rwanda plan.

It remains to be seen how the bill will be received by various factions within the Conservative Party and whether it will succeed in addressing concerns raised by the Supreme Court and skeptics of the Rwanda scheme.
