Vocal Suella Braverman has called Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel’s Illegal Migration Bill a “dead letter.“ Shots across bows…
Braverman has penned a punchy Telegraph piece today on the failure of the Home Office to deal with the small boats crisis. She references Priti’s 2021 bill:
“I asked why we were not prosecuting for illegal entry – after all, it had been made a criminal offence by the Nationality and Borders Act of 2021. The answer revealed the hollowness of our system. The CPS, knowing each migrant could lodge an asylum claim that trumped criminal charges under the Refugee Convention (included in s31 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999), quietly deprioritised enforcement. Border Force and police saw little point in pursuing charges destined to collapse in court. The law, though passed with fanfare, was a dead letter and no minister could go behind “operational independence”.”
Braverman is speaking at the Prosperity Institute tomorrow alongside Richard Tice and David Frost on her plan to leave the ECHR. Interesting speaker list…
