Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill will finally become law after a parliamentary showdown ended late in the night.

Plans to send some asylum seekers to Africa have met with fierce criticism, but the bill passed on Monday when the Lords dropped their opposition.

Mr Sunak said in a statement "nothing will stand in our way" now of getting flights off the ground.

But the scheme could still be held up by challenges in the courts.

What is the Rwanda asylum plan?

The government says any asylum seeker entering the UK "illegally" after 1 January 2022, from a safe country such as France, could be sent to Rwanda.

They would have their asylum claims processed there, rather in than the UK.

If successful, they could be granted refugee status and allowed to stay in the landlocked east-central African country.

What happened to the welcoming UK?

UK already screwed anyway. No coming back now. Guess which demographic will be multiplying at a much higher rate from here on out.

Takeover will happen. Already happening.

Most common children's names in the UK are already middle eastern.

Probably too little, too late for Sunak. The Conservatives are going to get pummeled this fall.

Rwanda’s government has earmarked the two sites to host asylum seekers expected to be sent from the United Kingdom as part of a 220-million-pound ($272m) deal to relocate refugees landing on British shores to the East African country.
