'A betrayal of Tory voters!' Suella Braverman BLASTS Sunak's emergency legislation as she warns plan is 'fatally flawed' in damning intervention

The new Bill, published this evening, says the UK parliament "is sovereign", noting that "the validity of an Act is unaffected by international law" - noting that the European Convention on Human Rights and other international law would be disapplied.

But a source close to the former Home Secretary warned that the legislation will allow "every single illegal migrant to make individual human rights claims", saying it is a "further betrayal of Tory voters".

The source said: "This bill doesn’t come close to meeting Suella’s tests.

"The PM has kept the ability for every single illegal migrant to make individual human rights claims against their removal and to then appeal those claims if they don’t succeed. It is fatally flawed.

"It will be bogged down in the courts for months…. It won’t stop the boats.

"It is a further betrayal of Tory voters and the decent patriotic majority who want to see this insanity brought to an end."

The new legislation also disapplies parts of the Human Rights Act, preventing it from getting in the way of sending migrants to Rwanda.

In a statement at the start of the legislation, Home Secretary James Cleverly said the Bill is not compatible with the ECHR.

He said: "I am unable to make a statement that, in my view, the provisions of the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill are compatible with the Convention rights, but the Government nevertheless wishes the House to proceed with the Bill."

The law also states that Rwanda is "safe country".

In a statement posted to social media after the legislation was published, Cleverly said: "When we said we would stop the boats, we meant it.

"This Bill makes sure that parliament decides who comes to this country - not the criminal gangs or foreign courts.

"Action, not empty rhetoric, will stop the boats."

The bill was published ahead of this evening's meeting of the 1922 Committee of Conservative backbenchers, which will see Sunak hauled in front of his MPs to discuss migration.
