Afternoon summary

• Downing Street has ruled out a proposal by rightwing Conservatives to override international law to remove asylum seekers to Rwanda, an idea condemned by a senior centrist Tory as “dictatorial”.

• Damian Green, former de facto deputy PM and Conservative MP, has attacked Suella Braverman’s latest plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda as “unconservative” and “dictatorial”, as the former home secretary continues to divide her party with her outspoken interventions.

• Jeremy Hunt is considering slashing the UK inheritance tax rate in next week’s autumn statement after economic forecasters told the chancellor he would have more money to spend thanks to rising tax revenues and falling borrowing costs.
