Race To Replace Boris: One of These SIX Will Be Next PM

Jeremy Hunt and Nadhim Zahawi have been knocked out of the contest for the next leader of the Conservative party after they failed to secure 30 supporters in Wednesday’s first round of voting among Tory MPs.

Despite a Covid fine and his wife’s controversial tax status, Former chancellor Rishi Sunak leads the pack of candidates, securing 88 votes.

With 67 votes, Penny Mordaunt was second past the post, but according to a YouGov poll, she is the most popular amoung Tory party members.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is currently in third position to take the top job, performing worse than expected.

The three other candidates still in the race are Kemi Badenoch with 40 votes, Tom Tugendhat with 37 supporters and Suella Braverman coming in the last position with 32.

Rishi Sunak's controversial Rwanda Migrant Bill passed after UK Parliament Marathon | Oneindia

On Monday, the United Kingdom Parliament passed the contentious Rwanda deportation bill, marking a significant step toward its enactment into law. Despite months of opposition from various quarters including Parliament, courts, and civil society, the bill received approval. The primary point of contention had been the concern for the human rights of asylum seekers. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Conservative party have been vigorously advocating for this legislation. The bill aims to designate Rwanda as a safe third country, compelling judges to consider it as such. Additionally, it seeks to grant decision-makers handling asylum applications the authority to bypass certain provisions of international and domestic human rights laws. This move comes in response to a UK Supreme Court ruling that deems the deportation of migrants to Kigali as illegal. #RwandaMigrantBill #UKParliamentMarathon #RishiSunak #ControversialBill #StopTheBoats #UKImmigration #AsylumSeekers #HumanRights #UKGovernment #Legislation ~PR.152~ED.155~GR.125~HT.96~
