In a letter to MPs she suggests there is a more than 50% chance the plan is incompatible with human rights laws.

However, she suggested the plans were still being drawn up as she refused to address the bill’s “full legal complexities”. [Yvette Cooper](https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/yvette-cooper/) branded the bill a “con” and described the plans as “Groundhog Day”. “Of course the UK will always seek to uphold international law and I am confident that this bill is compatible with international obligations,” she told the Commons. In the Commons, Braverman also refused to make a “definitive statement of compatibility” of her legislation under the Human Rights Act.

Home secretary says it is time to stop the UK "being taken for a ride" but Labour calls bill a "con".

There will also be a cap on the numbers granted asylum. - There will be a cap on the number of refugees the UK will settle through "safe and legal routes" - set annually by Parliament - A duty on the home secretary to detain and remove those arriving in the UK illegally, to Rwanda or a "safe" third country - this will take legal precedence over someone's right to claim asylum Ms Braverman said illegal arrivals were "in flagrant breach of our laws and the will of the British people" and if the government did not respond it would "betray the will of the people we have been elected to serve". The home secretary told MPs it was time to stop the UK being "taken for a ride" and the need for reform was "urgent".

The Home Secretary said it would 'betray' British voters not to tackle the 'waves of illegal migrants'.

That is how we will stop the boats.” More than 3,000 have already made the journey so far this year. And that is precisely what this Bill will do. She insisted the Government has not “sat on its hands” but added: “We’re procuring accommodation, including on military land, to end the farce of accommodating migrants in hotels. She told MPs on Tuesday: “For a Government not to respond to waves of illegal migrants breaching our borders would be to betray the will of the people we were elected to serve.” Suella Braverman said it would “betray” British voters not to tackle the “waves of illegal migrants breaching our border” as she unveiled plans for new laws to curb Channel crossings.

'This bill isn't a solution, it's a con,' Yvette Cooper says as MPs question how law can be put into practice.

Opposition MPs accused the government of abandoning Afghans who had not managed to board evacuation flights out of Kabul in August 2021. “This would be a clear breach of the Refugee Convention and would undermine a long-standing, humanitarian tradition of which the British people are rightly proud. this bill isn’t a solution, it’s a con that risks making the situation worse.” “International law does not require that refugees claim asylum in the first country they reach.” “They still don’t have any return agreements in place ... “The effect of the bill would be to deny protection to many asylum seekers in need of safety and protection, and even deny them the opportunity to put forward their case,” the agency added.

Home secretary accused of 'inflammatory' language, as she claims 'patriotic majority' on her side.

She added: “There are 100 million people around the world who could qualify for protection under our current laws.

is letting criminals off the hook and has let the gangs take hold". It outlined the main details of the bill and insisted it "does not mean the provisions in the bill are incompatible" with the Human Rights Act. The home secretary said the bill was "not about scapegoating, this is about safeguarding". She added that new safe routes have yet to be decided but said the bill will allow there to be a "more comprehensive discussion" on them to allow "more legitimacy" on what they should be. • The onus to remove those who enter illegally will be on the home secretary - to "radically" narrow the number of challenges and appeals The home secretary has unveiled the new Illegal Migration Bill that will mean migrants arriving on small boats in the UK will be "removed swiftly".

It is the product of a racist government that has run out of racist ideas. “It is a cynical rehash of the same racist policies that they have already announced before. “The policies that have seen hundreds of children going missing from hotels will be enshrined in her bill.” Braverman also claimed for a Government not to respond to “waves of illegal migrants” would be to “betray the will of the people we were elected to serve”. “For a government not to respond to waves of illegal migrants breaching our borders would be to betray the will of the people we were elected to serve.” [Greens](https://www.thenational.scot/politics/scottish-greens/) equalities and justice spokesperson, [Maggie Chapman](https://www.thenational.scot/politics/maggie-chapman/) MSP said: “Even by the appalling standards of the Home Office this is desperate and shameful. “Until that day, we need safe routes and solidarity, not the kind of vile repression and inhumanity that we have constantly seen from the Home Office.” In response the Home Secretary said: “A lot of passion, a lot of fury and a lot of fire. Let's be clear they are coming here." He added: “If every country followed her example the whole system of refugee protection around the world would fall to pieces – but it is not just the system of refugee protection around the world which is going to be trashed by this bill, but the UK’s reputation as a place of sanctuary.” [SNP](https://www.thenational.scot/politics/snp/)’s shadow justice and immigration spokesperson, pledged his party would oppose the legislation “every step of the way”.

Under the currently-stalled Rwanda scheme, there is only the capacity to deport just a few hundred people each year and the Government has, as yet, given no indication of where the tens of thousands of additional places are to be found. Far from seeking to reduce the spread of these incidents, the Home Secretary and her allies have sought to partially justify them, with Conservative Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson saying he has The campaign, and the lies upon which it was based, fulfilled their purpose. In recent months, there have been multiple attacks and violent protests against asylum centres and hotels housing refugees in the UK. This strategy has its ancestral origin in the successful Vote Leave campaign. Yet beyond the rhetoric, there was little in Braverman’s statement which suggests that the Government actually has any workable plans to tackle small boat crossings. Under the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, states are not allowed to discriminate against refugees on the basis of how they have arrived. While such rhetoric is dangerous, it is also deeply cynical. At that rate, it would take a further two millennia for Braverman’s 100 million to turn up on Britain’s shores. Official statistics suggest that the large majority of refugees stay within their own region, with other European countries accepting many more than the UK.

The Illegal Migration Bill was introduced on Tuesday in the government's latest plan to crackdown on Channel migrant crossings.

[revealed its new plan](https://news.sky.com/story/home-secretary-suella-braverman-announces-small-boat-migrants-will-be-removed-swiftly-under-new-bill-12827855) to stop migrants entering the UK on small boats, after more than 45,000 crossed the Channel last year. They are breaking our laws. Ms Braverman said people will be able to claim asylum in the UK but "they should choose to come here through safe and legal routes" so they are not breaking the law. They are abusing the generosity of the British people." Refugee charities and opposition parties have say the plans will break international asylum laws. The home secretary has told Sky News the government's new plan to stop small boat migrants arriving in the UK is "not breaking the law".

Home secretary Suella Braverman today admitted laws to prevent almost all illegal immigrants from settling in the UK would “push the boundaries” of what is ...

If the rules are found to fall foul of the UK’s obligations under the European Convention of Human Rights, the government is expected to rely on a niche bit of law known as “section 19B statement”. In order to stop boats arriving, deterrence is one of the few things which will win. She said in her statement today she would not “get into the legal complexity”, but slammed the European Court of Human Rights decision, last June, to prevent a plane full of migrants bound for Rwanda from taking off.

The Match of the Day host said the government's policy was "immeasurably cruel".

“As I’ve made clear, we are working very hard to ensure that people stop dying on the channel - that’s what this is about. Lineker will be “reminded of his responsibilities on social media” by the corporation following the tweet reply, according to the Daily Telegraph. “This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?”

It added: "The majority of displaced people stay in neighbouring countries to their country of origin or in other countries in Europe. "We are confident that we are complying with the law, domestic and international," she told the Today programme.

"This is dogwhistle language used by an extremist home secretary".

″You say there are 100 million people displaced around the world and likely billions more eager to come here in possible,” Reid said. She said: “Many of them are heading to the United Kingdom. This is an unsustainable problem that we’ve got and it’s now necessary for us to take steps to stop it.” She went even further in an article for the Daily Mail in which she said “billions” of refugees could attempt to come to the UK. [Suella Braverman ](https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/suella-braverman/)has been accused of using “dog whistle language” after she claimed that 100 million refugees are coming to the UK. Unveiling the legislation in the House of Commons yesterday, Braverman said that under the present system, the 100 million people estimated to be displaced around the world would have the right to seek asylum in Britain.

Home secretary is asked whether Olympian would have been deported as soon as he turned 18 under proposals.

I also think that we are on the side of the British people here. When asked whether Farah would have been deported under the proposals, initially Braverman swerved the question and told Sky: “Well, as I said, we are very proud of our world-leading modern slavery regime. The asylum backlog is spiralling, with a record 166,000 people waiting for a decision to be made on their applications. “In fact, we’ve made it very clear that we believe we’re in compliance with all of our international obligations, for example the refugee convention, the European convention on human rights, other conventions to which we are subject. Under the plans, asylum seekers arriving in the UK via small boats will be detained and deported. Braverman and Rishi Sunak have claimed the measures will successfully deter people from crossing the Channel.

“We are confident that we are complying with the law, domestic and international,” she said. More than 45,700 people used “small boats” to cross the Channel to the U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made “stopping the boats” one of his key priorities as he tries to turn around Tory fortunes. But the plans are likely to face a bumpy ride through parliament and the courts. There has been particular focus on Braverman’s admission Tuesday that the bill may bump up against the European Convention on Human Rights. On the first page of the published law, Braverman said she was “unable to make a statement” that its bill’s provisions are “compatible with the Convention rights.”

She said: "We will be going into an appeal hearing in April relating to the Rwanda scheme. It is an insult to all those worried about the dangerous rhetoric of this Conservative government and their heartless, unworkable approach. “Britain has a proud history of offering sanctuary to refugees. You'd have to ask the the judiciary as to the timetable, which we will respect." The UN's refugee agency said it was "profoundly concerned" by the Bill, which is said will amount to an "asylum ban". "People fleeing persecution and conflict will be irreparably harmed by these proposals, while the UK is setting an utterly terrible example to other countries around the world." Asked for "facts", she said: "We'll save £3billion a year if we are able to get this bill onto the statute books, if we are able to relocate people to Rwanda and if we're able to stop the boats." "I think it will be very clear by the time of the next election whether we have succeeded or not," she said.
