Rishi Sunak has been branded as "weak" after he refused to punish right-wing Tory MPs who voted against his Rwanda bill last night.The Prime Minister refused to say what the consequences would be for the 11 MPs who voted against the bill.He insisted that his party was "united" and "came together to stop the boats" in a press conference on Thursday morning.Labour Shadow Scotland Secretary Ian Murray said Sunak is "weak, weak, weak" and "doesn’t even have the authority to discipline his own rebels."The Safety of Rwanda Bill passed its third reading by 320 votes to 276 at the third reading stage on Wednesday evening.Most right-wing Tories ended up backing the bill despite previously threatening to vote it down if it wasn't amended.But 11 Conservative MPs, including former Home Secretary Suella Braverman and former immigration minister Robert Jenrick, rebelled and voted against the bill.They voted against the bill because they did not believe it went far enough and wanted the UK to withdraw from the European Court of Human Rights.Reports have also suggested that multiple letters of no confidence have been submitted by Tory MPs against the Prime Minister.Sunak was asked at the press conference in Downing Street what the consequences would be for those who defied the three-line whip.He refused to say that the rebels would be punished.He replied: "The Conservative Party last night was united in wanting to stop the boats and you saw that very clearly"It's quite right that we debate this and that is because people are frustrated about the issue."It's understandable that people have got strong opinions, it's understandable that they want to do everything necessary to solve this issue."I share that frustration and I share that
