Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is considering deleting a portion of the Human Rights Act in order to get Rwanda deportation planes off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Prime Minister’s team is considering ‘disapplying’ sections of the legislation under emergency laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suella Braverman, who was fired last week, privately proposed recommendations to No. 10 before her dismissal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She alleged Mr Sunak neglected to intervene, infuriating MPs on the party’s right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, attempts to limit human rights legislation, such as prohibiting their use in circumstances of illegal migration, would be exceedingly problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Sunak pledged emergency measures \u2013 plus a new, legally-binding treaty with Rwanda \u2013 last week in the wake of the immigration policy being declared unlawful by the Supreme Court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move comes after it was revealed Mrs Braverman wrote to the Prime Minister six times warning the Rwanda asylum scheme risked failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘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.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also renewed her criticism of the police’s approach to tackling marchers who step over the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘I back the police but… the police let down the British people, let down the Jewish community.’<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
