Suella Braverman has called on Rishi Sunak to introduce “emergency legislation” after the Rwanda policy was scuppered by the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the sacked Home Secretary said: “Today\u2019s Supreme Court judgment is no surprise.<\/p>\n
“It was predicted by a number of people close to the process. Given the current state of the law, there is no reason to criticise the judges. Instead, the Government must introduce emergency legislation.<\/p>\n
“The Bill must block off ECHR, HRA, and other routes of legal challenge.<\/p>\n
“This will give Parliament a clear choice: control illegal migration or explain to the British people why they should accept ever greater numbers of illegal arrivals settling here.<\/p>\n
“Those who – like me – believe that effective immigration control is vital must understand that they cannot have their cake and eat it: there is no chance of curbing illegal migration within the current legal framework. We must legislate or admit defeat.”<\/p>\n
It comes after the Supreme Court earlier ruled the plan to send asylum seekers on a one-way ticket to Rwanda is unlawful.<\/p>\n
The PM has vowed to sign an upgraded deal with the African nation following the setback.<\/p>\n
He was resisting pressure from some Conservatives to quit the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) but hinted he could change UK laws “if necessary” and may reconsider “international relationships”.<\/p>\n
