Braverman Calls Plan Immoral And Ineffective

Former home secretary Suella Braverman criticises Rishi Sunak's Rwanda plan

Braverman calls plan 'immoral and ineffective'

Former UK home secretary Suella Braverman has lashed out at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak saying his plans to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda are 'immoral and ineffective'.

In a brutal three-page letter published a day after she was sacked as home secretary, Braverman warned Sunak that the plan would "end in failure." She also accused him of "turning a blind eye" to the UK's illegal immigration problem.

Braverman's successor, Grant Shapps, has also advocated for the plan. However, he has said that he is open to making changes to the policy.

The Rwanda plan was announced by Johnson in April. It would see asylum seekers who arrive in the UK illegally sent to Rwanda to have their claims processed. The plan has been widely criticized by human rights groups, who say it is inhumane and will not deter people from seeking asylum in the UK.

In October, the High Court ruled that the plan was lawful. However, the Court of Appeal is currently considering an appeal against that ruling.

In her letter, Braverman said that the plan was "not working" and that it was "wrong" to send people to Rwanda. She also said that the government needed to "get serious" about tackling illegal immigration.

Sunak has defended the plan, saying that it is necessary to deter people from making dangerous journeys to the UK.

The government is currently considering its next steps on the Rwanda plan.

Conclusion:

The Rwanda plan is a controversial policy that has been met with criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. It is unclear whether the government will be able to implement the plan, given the legal challenges that it faces.
