Tory Rebels Plot to Undermine Sunak over Rwanda Policy at Italian Dinner
• Over dinner at an Italian restaurant, a group of anti-Sunak MPs and strategists plotted to undermine the PM with a series of damaging stories.
• Sunak faces opposition from both the right-wing and moderate wings of the party over his Rwanda asylum policy.
• An "ominous coalition" on the right, including Braverman allies, ERG Brexiteers, and "red wall" MPs, is mobilizing against Sunak.
• The rebel MPs are considering amendments to the Rwanda bill to force Sunak into a more hardline position on immigration.
• If Sunak falls, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage stand ready to capitalize, but the plotters suggest Kemi Badenoch could take over to arrest the Tories' falling popularity.
