Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is considering deleting a portion of the Human Rights Act in order to get Rwanda deportation planes off the ground.
The Prime Minister’s team is considering ‘disapplying’ sections of the legislation under emergency laws.
Suella Braverman, who was fired last week, privately proposed recommendations to No. 10 before her dismissal.
She alleged Mr Sunak neglected to intervene, infuriating MPs on the party’s right.
However, attempts to limit human rights legislation, such as prohibiting their use in circumstances of illegal migration, would be exceedingly problematic.
Mr Sunak pledged emergency measures – plus a new, legally-binding treaty with Rwanda – last week in the wake of the immigration policy being declared unlawful by the Supreme Court.
The move comes after it was revealed Mrs Braverman wrote to the Prime Minister six times warning the Rwanda asylum scheme risked failure.
According to reports, the former home secretary, who was fired a week ago by Rishi Sunak, advised the PM that the signature immigration programme was in “real danger” of crumbling on legal grounds.
Her letters, which were sent over the course of her year as Home Secretary, also asked him to make ‘difficult decisions’ in order to come up with a better solution.
She also attacked Mr Sunak over his approach to extremism at pro-Palestinian marches. ‘I felt there had been a lack of moral leadership,’ Mrs Braverman said.
‘There had been tepid and timid statements from the Prime Minister throughout the course of this issue and I felt there was a real opportunity for the Prime Minister to demonstrate some moral leadership, to demonstrate that this is not what Britain stands for. I felt that was wholly lacking.’
She also renewed her criticism of the police’s approach to tackling marchers who step over the line.
‘I back the police but… the police let down the British people, let down the Jewish community.’
