Braverman: Tories face electoral oblivion if treaty fails

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has claimed the Conservative Party faces "electoral oblivion" if its emergency legislation to tackle illegal migration fails.

In a personal statement to the Commons, Braverman urged Rishi Sunak to stop all legal challenges using domestic and international laws.

It comes as Home Secretary James Cleverly travelled to Rwanda yesterday to sign a new treaty in a bid to fulfil the government's plan to send asylum seekers to the African nation.
