(ITV) A long-awaited plan to “stop the boats” has finally been unveiled, with Home Secretary Suella Braverman announcing the Illegal Migration Bill in Parliament.
The new law will force detention on virtually everyone who enters the UK illegally and make it impossible for most of them to claim asylum — but there’s much more to it.
Ms Braverman has already admitted the policy will push the “boundaries of international law” and there are various hoops for the legislation to jump through before it can be implemented.
Speaking in the House of Commons, she said it would “betray” British voters not to tackle the “waves of illegal migrants breaching our border.”
