House of Lords urged to relent in Rwanda bill deadlock

Members of the UK's House of Lords have been urged to relent in their deadlock with the British government over the Rwanda migrant bill after MPs again rejected demands for change from the house.

All eyes will fall to the House of Lords tonight, where members opposed to the bill will decide whether they continue to insist upon changes to the bill voted down in the House of Commons. As MPs rejected all four Lords amendments, Mr Tomlinson said he had an"optimistic hope" that his contribution today might be his"last opportunity" to speak on it.

"We are not considering concessions," the British Prime Minister's official spokesman told reporters.
