A former deputy prime minister and Conservative MP has attacked Suella Braverman’s latest plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda as “unconservative” and “dictatorial”, as the former home secretary continues to divide her party with her outspoken interventions.
Damian Green, who also served as an immigration minister, said on Friday that Braverman’s proposal to pass a law to get around the legal obstacles to the Rwanda plan identified earlier this week by the supreme court would be “the most unconservative proposal I’ve ever heard”.
