The Indian-origin Home Secretary has previously made clear that she will do “whatever it takes” to send asylum seekers to Rwanda – a plan that has been blocked by the courts. Her trip and speech in the US to discuss migration issues will be seen as further evidence in the Tory party that she is positioning herself as a potential leadership candidate for the right should the Conservatives lose the next election.
It’s the Tory party that’s not ‘not fit for purpose’ in age of jet travel and smartphones
Labour and the SNP would be licking their lips at the idea of Braverman leading the conservative party.
It’s going to be Lee Anderson.
Lee Anderson or Suella Bravaman. Is this really how far they’ve fallen.
Yes, yes it is
Did you add in “Indian Origin” cause it’s not in the article.
Why?
I’m wondering if Ms. Braverman is aware that according to her own proposed rules her parents probably should have never immigrated to the UK, and she is arguing that international treaties on migration are unfit for purpose in an “age of jet travel” while droves of migrants, including minors, trying to cross the channel in small boats.
Rules for thee, not for me
The age-old standard of conservative politics
Sprinkled with self-hating immigrant background for good measure.
I love these thumbnails the guardian finds for her. Makes her look even more unhinged 🤣.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Suella Braverman has signalled her desire to leave the European court of human rights (ECHR), as she warned that the treaties governing the treatment of migrants were not “fit for purpose in an age of jet travel and smartphones”.
The home secretary was speaking last night ahead of a visit to her counterparts in the US, where she will make a speech setting out what she sees as the challenges created by global migration – including small boats across the Channel.
“Illegal migration and the unprecedented mass movement of people across the globe is placing unsustainable pressures on America, the UK, and Europe,” she said.
“We must come together and ask whether the international conventions and legal frameworks designed 50-plus years ago are fit for purpose in an age of jet travel and smartphones.
Her trip and speech in the US will be seen as further evidence in the Tory party that she is positioning herself as a potential leadership candidate for the right should the Conservatives lose the next election.
Enver Solomon, chief executive of the Refugee Council, warned that attacks on the ECHR went against Britain’s historic support for such treaties.
