Rishi Sunak gives press conference after tough PMQs over Supreme Court ruling Rwanda policy unlawful

It comes after the Home Office challenged a Court of Appeal ruling from June that overturned the High Court’s finding that Rwanda could be considered a “safe third country” for migrants.

The Supreme Court has ruled Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda policy is unlawful and would have endangered those being sent to the country.

It's a massive blow to the Prime Minister, and one that will only fuel anger from the Tory right, with Suella Braverman already claiming the Prime Minister has no “credible Plan B”.

It's followed by PMQs and then a vote on a ceasefire late tonight.

Friends, readers, countrymen, that's it for today's live blog. I'm off to write a spread on the ceasefire vote, which you'll be able to read sometime after the vote, around 19:00 tonight. Thanks for sticking with us, have a lovely evening, and see you all at the next one.
