Suella Braverman's cruel bid to deny trafficking victims legal protection has narrowly avoided defeat - as critics warn it will benefit the criminal gangs she claims to be tackling.
Former Prime Minister Theresa May broke ranks to deliver a scathing assessment of the callous Home Secretary's plans, saying they would "consign more people to slavery".
She also warned Ms Braverman's Illegal Migration Act would "tie the hands of police" and benefit "slave drivers" who would use it to stop their victims coming forward.
