Tories face 'electoral oblivion' if Rwanda policy fails - Suella Braverman - BBC News
The former home secretary warns the government it is running out of time to bring in new laws about the controversial policy.
Braverman continues by saying some progress was made during her tenure as home secretary - citing a 30% drop in overall crossings - but she stresses that saying "crossings are down is not the same as stopping the boats".

She goes on: "I advised that we should scrap rather than continue passage of the Illegal Migration Bill, in favour of a more robust alternative that excluded international and human rights laws."

She says she urged the need for a "credible Plan B in the event of a Supreme Court loss".

"It is now three weeks on and we are yet to see a Bill. I am told its publication is imminent but we are running out of time. This is an emergency and we need to see the bill now," she tells the Commons.

Braverman explains that in her view, previous attempts to address the issue of illegal crossings failed because they did not address what she called the "root cause of the problem".

She says: "Expansive human rights laws - flowing from the European Convention on Human Rights, replicated in Labour’s Human Rights Act - are being interpreted elastically by courts domestic and foreign, to literally prevent our Rwanda plan from getting off the ground".
