SUELLA BRAVERMAN’S “barbaric” plan to ban refugees who cross the Channel from claiming asylum in Britain is a “blatant breach of international law,” refugee rights groups have warned. 

The Home Secretary was expected to announce the new powers in her first big speech to Tory Party conference today.

Under new legislation, a blanket ban would be imposed on anyone arriving to Britain via irregular routes, including by small boat across the Channel, from claiming asylum.
