Hunt dismisses Rwanda rebellion as 'lively discussions'

Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt dismisses last night's resignations as "lively discussions" inside the Party as he insists the Tories are "united" in the effort to sort out illegal immigration.

His comments come as the fate of Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda plan is in the balance as a crunch vote looms after two Tory deputy chairmen resigned to join the biggest Conservative rebellion of his leadership.
