Sacked minister Suella Braverman targets UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda bill

Suella Braverman, who was dismissed from the post of Britain’s Home Secretary last year, has targeted Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and said that the ‘Rwanda Security’ Bill coming in Parliament next week will not prove useful. Following sharp statements made in the ‘House of Commons’, the lower house of Parliament this week, the former Indian-origin minister said in an interview with GB News Channel on Friday that she would not support the bill in its current form. Through this controversial bill, which is going through the parliamentary process after passing the first hurdle in the lower house last month, Sunak has tried to make arrangements to prevent illegal immigrants from coming to British soil and to extradite Ugandans seeking asylum. Obstacles in the way of doing so can be removed.

“I’m only going to support a bill that’s useful,” Braverman said in the interview. The current bill is not useful,” Braverman said. “And if it’s not reformed, I’m afraid I’ll have to vote against it.” I have been sent to Parliament to support or oppose things, not to sit on the fence.

The bill has to be debated and voted on for amendments before it is sent to the Upper House for approval by the House of Lords. It would prove to be a big headache for the Sunak-led government if 32 MPs from his own Conservative Party vote against it. Such an outcome would create history, as no government bill has been rejected in the third reading in the House of Commons since 1977. Beverman said, I am very concerned about the ministers I have spoken to and the objections they have lodged.
