Episode description
Rishi Sunak has told Conservatives to "unite or die" over his Rwanda migration bill.
The prime minister's plan to send migrants to the African country, where their asylum claims would be processed, is in turmoil following the resignation of immigration minister Robert Jenrick.
He stood down after it was revealed the bill did not allow the government to override the international laws that have stopped the policy in its tracks.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to our deputy political editor Sam Coates about the Tories’ infighting and whether they can overcome it. And Guto Harri, former Downing Street director of communications under Boris Johnson, tells Niall about the “insatiable appetite for self-harm” among Conservatives.
