Braverman ‘more disastrous’ for refugees than Patel, campaigners warn

LIZ TRUSS’S Cabinet reshuffle has sparked alarm among human rights and green campaigners, with warnings of a further shift to the right.
As the new home secretary, former attorney general Suella Braverman reportedly wants to “double down” on her predecessor Priti Patel’s plans to deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda and expand the detention of Channel-crossing asylum-seekers.
Campaigners fear Ms Braverman could prove “more disastrous” for refugees and migrants than Ms Patel, who during her three years at the helm of the Home Office sought to massively curtain the rights of asylum-seekers.
