Suella Braverman has demanded the Government put in place emergency legislation after the courts ruled that the plan to send migrants to Rwanda was illegal.
Issuing a warning to Rishi Sunak, she said: “‘legislate or admit defeat”.
In a statement posted to Twitter this afternoon, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s judgement, the former Home Secretary said: “Today’s Supreme Court judgment is no surprise. 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.
“The Bill must block off ECHR, HRA, and other routes of legal challenge. 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.
“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.”
