MP Concerned Over Tory Ties to Rwanda and Alleged Terrorist Activity

A hardline Eurosceptic group within the Conservative Party and Tory MPs on the right of the political spectrum have expressed discontent with the Rwanda bill.

Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski has brought attention to what he perceives as an “incestuous” relationship between the Conservative Party and the Rwanda government, warning of possible terrorist connections with the country, but remains committed to supporting the government on the bill.

The comments from the Shrewsbury MP come amid the ongoing debate on the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill, with a crucial vote in the Commons scheduled for Tuesday.
