UK Immigration Minister Quits Over Rwanda Bill

Jenrick, who was seen as a Sunak ally until recently, said on Wednesday he felt the emergency legislation presented in a parliamentary statement by his boss, Home Secretary James Cleverly, did not go far enough to end the “merry-go-round of legal challenges".

Sunak responded to his resignation by saying he was “disappointed” but that his reasoning for quitting the post was "based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation".

"It is with great sadness that I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as Minister for Immigration,” Jenrick said in a post on X after questions in the House of Commons where he was missing from the front bench.
