UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman fired over handling of pro-Palestinean march

[MenInG]

Home Secretary Suella Braverman has challenged critics to try to "get rid of me", as she denied ignoring legal advice on housing asylum seekers.

She rejected claims she blocked the use of hotels to ease overcrowding pressure at a migrant processing centre.

She said her policies were designed to repel an "invasion" on the south coast.

But Labour said Ms Braverman was not fit for office and undermined Rishi Sunak's claim he was bringing integrity back to government.

Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said decision-making at the Home Office had "collapsed" on Ms Braverman's watch and asked how "anyone is supposed to have confidence" in her.

Suella Braverman failed to sign off on measures which could have eased pressure at a migrant processing centre, sources have told the BBC.

The home secretary was warned by officials the government was acting outside the law by failing to provide alternative accommodation.

Sources claim there was significant concern within the Home Office about the situation at the Manston centre.

The Home Office rejected claims that the advice was "deliberately ignored".

Ms Braverman is making a statement in the Commons on asylum processing centres.

Here we go, the lunatic LD and Labour party have nothing better to do than attack the Home Secretary. She made a mistake, sending an email via her personal account, big deal, move on and let her get on with her job.

It is clear LD and Labour offer no solutions to immigration, or any of the other problems the country is facing - they only exist because of the childish noise they create.

Err, it wasn't a minor mistake. Feeble attempt to downplay the situation.

"Let her get on with her job"...

Sajid Javid was called back from holiday to deal with small boats in 2018. Went through to Patel, now to Braverman.

No Dublin Regs anymore post Brexit. Technics in 2022, screeching about "let them get on with the job".

Four years of no legal resolutions, no inadmissability policy uptake from third countries, TAKING BACK CONTROL!!!

And still, Lib Dems and Labour getting the blame lol.

 

[Usman]

People might not like Braverman but if she genuinely sorts out the migration problem, then she will be a great Home Secretary. Yesterday 1000 people sat in a boat and crossed the channel into our country in a single day. That is completely and utterly ridiculous. Braverman is right that these people are not all asylum seekers, but they are economic migrants who are circumventing legal migration routes.

I’m sorry but the hard earned money of Brits should not and cannot continue to be wasted housing and feeding thousands upon thousands of people who just don’t like the economics of their home countries.

Do I have faith in Braverman that she will sort this out? Probably not. Does she deserve a shot? Absolutely - unfortunately the fact of the matter is that if anyone has a shot of sorting this, it’s going to be someone on the right wing of the Conservative party. Nobody in the centre right is going to touch this, let alone anyone on the left in Labour.

This is a ridiculous situation. Kenyan immigrants breaking laws and actively seeking to deport fellow immigrants.

Incredulous

If I did that I would likely be charged with breach of the Official Secrets Act.

The FSB must be over the moon that this rabble are in charge. Like when Johnson slipped his security detail, met a retired FAB Colonel, and promoted the Colonel’s son to the House of Lords. Jack Profumo resigned for far less, but that was a more honourable age.

Braverman had her shot. She blew it and resigned. She should stay resigned.

More austerity is on the way. That means no more UK Border Force staff, and no more immigration centres.

All we have to do is rejoin the Single Market and rejoin the Dublin Treaty. The French have stated that they are willing to set up detention centres in their border but the Tories refuse to comply. But that’s anathema to the nationalistic hard right ERG.

Yup, and no need to be sorry.

I would like to see LD and Labour supporters house these asylum seekers if they are really concerned, of course they will not, instead they will just moan and groan.

SB is the right person for job. Give her a chance just like the raging alcoholic LD leader Charles Kennedy was by his own party!

Politicians have to be extremely careful to comply with UK GDPR, as well as the Official Secrets Act.

Whilst I don’t disagree with you that Braverman was incredibly foolish to send sensitive emails from her personal email, it was also clear that her resignation had less to do with that and more to do with not pandering to the hopeless Liz Truss. It was widely acknowledged that Braverman’s breach was a minor one, given that the supposedly leaked document was due for publication within 24 hours and contained information mostly already in the public domain. I am not making excuses for Braverman, but the context of her resignation is important.

The point is that as a nation we need to look at the bigger picture here. Is it more important to sack Braverman for a technical breach of the rules, or is the priority to stop tens of thousands entering the UK illegally every year, at a time where the government is struggling to support the people already here. As I say, the only politicians who stand a chance of sorting this issue are those who are prepared to take a hard line on the right and, like her or not, Braverman is going to take that hard line. A centrist politician will not, nor will anyone on the left.

Technics post is rubbish. Technics knowledge in this matter is what he regurgitates from the Express (much like all his input).

Each and every member of Government is held not only to very strict GDPR enforcement, but also additional restrictions, Official Secrets etc (as Robert had mentioned).

It is not a minor thing to be sending ANY official documents to yourself to your personal emails. This isn't a 100% tinpot country just yet.

It would warrant a formal investigation AND a final warning at the very least.

If you consider this a minor issue, then that just indicates you clearly have no understanding of what the ramifications are.

Not to mention the other email she sent to the wrong person.

A centrist politician will not, nor will anyone on the left.

The bigger picture is:

1) The UK voted to leave the EU, and as a result, the Dublin Regs
2) This meant the UK hamstrung itself when it came to negotiating with Europe in general, but more importantly, the French, for e.g. via the Sandhurst treaty
4) Javid pushed for dealing with the issue via Dublin Regs while we still had it, and also negotiating with the French
5) Once we left Dublin Regs, the public were assured by Patel that people were queueing up to sign bilateral agreements and agreement to returns under the inadmissability policy. This didnt happen. Therefore, still no way to deal with this.
6) Rwanda policy breaks laws we are signed upto. Patel and now Braverman backed this relentlessly. This will not work in the long term.

Talk of long term:

Should removing people to Rwanda become a thing, what do you think comes next?

Read up on the bills being pushed through on citizenship and protesting.

There is a real threat to our society and us as minorities from abroad.

Once again, to counter this:

1) Can anyone cite in the last 6 years since the referendum, or in fairness, January or December 2020, what has indicated that the UK will be a success outside the EU?

2) What has the EU done to prevent the UK from being a success aside from enforce the rules of their union, the union we chose to leave?

3) The Tory party signed off on an excellent deal between the UK and EU... did they lie?

4) What influence did the EU have on Tory politics, resulting in Kwarteng's budget (deemed excellent by Technics)?

Immigration minister Robert Jenrick has rejected language used by the home secretary describing the increase of asylum seekers to the UK as an "invasion".

Suella Braverman told MPs yesterday that the public needs to know which party is serious about "stopping the invasion" of migrants on the southern coast of the UK.

Mr Jenrick, when asked if he would characterise the situation in the same way, told Sky News: "In a job like mine, you have to choose your words very carefully. And I would never demonise people coming to this country in pursuit of a better life."

Politics latest: 'People sleeping on camping mats' in migrant centre

However, he said describing people crossing the Channel as an "invasion" was a way to show the scale of the challenge "and that's what Suella Braverman was trying to express".

He said the number of people making the small boat crossings could reach higher than fifty thousand by the end of the year.

He also claimed that Ms Braverman was speaking for people who live on the south coast "who day in, day out are seeing migrant boats landing on their beaches".

"There was a report just yesterday from a lady who found a young migrant from Albania in her kitchen seeking support, asking for money," he said.

"I know that that's not acceptable in this country."

However, Labour said that Ms Braverman's language has put communities, the police and security services at risk - pointing to the weekend's petrol bomb attack on the Border Force immigration centre in Dover.

Shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell told Sky News: "For the home secretary to put our security services at a greater strain through incendiary language is deeply irresponsible."

Ms Braverman made the comments as she gave a statement to the House of Commons about overcrowding at the Manston immigration processing centre in Kent, where outbreaks of MRSA and diphtheria have been reported.

The home secretary has denied claims that she ignored legal advice and rejected calls by officials to procure more hotel accommodation for migrants amid mounting concern about the situation, which has been described as a "breach of humane conditions".

There are thought to be around 4,000 migrants at the processing facility, which is designed to hold a maximum of 1,600, with some said to have been there for up to a month, even though they are supposed to be moved on after 24 hours.

'More hotels being procured at pace'

Mr Jenrick revealed the government is procuring more hotels to accommodate asylum seekers waiting for their applications to be processed.

He accepted "conditions are poor" at Manston, with people sleeping on mats and staying longer than the 24 hours intended.

"This is not a satisfactory situation. I'm not here to defend that," he said.

However, he insisted the root cause is not the government, adding: "The problem is that thousands of people are crossing the Channel illegally every day."

Mr Jenrick insisted Manston is fit for purpose and said the problem is there are too many people there.

"More hotels have been coming online almost every month throughout the whole of this year. So Suella Braverman and her predecessor, Priti Patel, were procuring more hotels. What I have done in my short tenure is wrap that up and procure even more."

The government is coming under further scrutiny over the situation at Manston after a new report - published on Tuesday and based on an inspection in July - revealed detainees were not allowed to close toilet doors fully and had to sleep on the floor.

Some migrants have not been allowed access to mobile phones to inform their families if they were safe, while other "exhausted detainees" have waited more than 30 hours to be processed, the report from HM Inspectorate of Prisons found.

Charlie Taylor, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, told Sky News the Home Office needs to "get a grip" on the situation.

"It is extremely concerning that children are being asked to sleep on the floor in accommodation that's wholly unsuitable," he said.

"Bear in mind that some of these people have had incredibly long journeys. Some of them are potentially victims of torture, victims of all sorts of abuse and also potentially victims of trafficking as well."

He said he would be "horrified" if he saw the situation at Manston echoed at UK prisons.

"As I said before, the Home Office needs to get a grip."

People underestimate the shrewdness of Rishi as a politician. Suella (Cruella?) Braverman is the perfect pantomime villain for him to select as a senior representative. She is toxic and arrogant enough to happily soak up all of the pressure and attention of the media whilst the rest of the government’s domestic and foreign policy platform goes under the radar and continues unencumbered.

 

[James]

<b>Rishi Sunak has said the UK is a "compassionate" country, after the home secretary was criticised for saying southern England was facing an "invasion" of illegal migrants.</b>

Suella Braverman was accused of using inflammatory language by refugee charities and opposition parties.

But some Tory MPs and the ex-leader of UKIP said she was right to speak out.

Downing Street did not comment on whether the prime minister would also describe the situation as an invasion.

But Mr Sunak's official spokesman said: "The home secretary was seeking to express the sheer scale of the challenge that faces the country, with people, including a significant proportion of economic migrants, seeking to make this journey."

Ministers are under pressure to tackle the growing numbers crossing the Channel in small boats.

Ms Braverman has been criticised for overcrowding at the Manston migrant processing centre in Kent, which has reportedly led to outbreaks of disease and violence.

The prime minister's official spokesman said Rishi Sunak told his cabinet at a meeting on Tuesday that the UK would "always be a compassionate, welcoming country".

Earlier, Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick told the BBC politicians must be careful with their language when talking about this issue.

Charities criticised the use of the word "invasion", with the Refugee Council saying the language was "appalling, wrong and dangerous".

Conservative MP Sir Roger Gale, who represents North Thanet, where the Manston centre is located, said using such "inflammatory language" was "completely unacceptable" and "might well incite an unpleasant element in British society to violence".

He told the BBC's Newshour programme Ms Braverman's insistence that she had not blocked the use of hotels to ease overcrowding at Manston was "disingenuous" and the problem was made "right at the top of the Home Office".

He claimed Ms Braverman's predecessors as home secretary had commissioned alternative accommodation but she had not, leading to a "log jam".

Asked if this was a generous way of saying Ms Braverman was not telling the truth, he replied: "Yes."

Other Conservative MPs supported Ms Braverman, with Brendan Clarke-Smith saying she was "right", adding that "we must stop people abusing our system, rather than making excuses for them".

Nigel Farage, former leader of the Brexit Party and UKIP, said in a Twitter video Ms Braverman was right to use the word "invasion" and she had "the guts to say many of these people are just not refugees".

Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: "No home secretary who was serious about public safety or national security would use highly inflammatory language on the day after a dangerous petrol bomb attack on a Dover initial processing centre."

The SNP said Ms Braverman's "incendiary language makes a mockery of [prime minister] Rishi Sunak's claims about so-called compassionate conservatism".

At one point over the weekend some 4,000 people were being held at the former RAF base at Manston, which is only designed to accommodate 1,600 people on a temporary basis.

Hundreds of people were moved there on Sunday after a man threw firebombs at a separate immigration centre in Dover.

The home secretary told Tuesday's cabinet meeting the Dover centre had now reopened and large numbers were being taken from Manston to other accommodation.

A report from a visit by the chief inspector of prisons in July found Manston had considerably improved but still identified issues such as no access to fresh air or exercise and a lack of beds, with people sleeping on rubber mats on the floor.

Since then, chief inspector Charlie Taylor said the situation had "significantly deteriorated".

People are only supposed to be kept at Manston for 24 hours for security and identity checks, before being moved into the Home Office's asylum accommodation system, which often means a hotel.

When the chief inspector of immigration visited last week, he found some people had been there for over a month.

That included one family who had been there for 32 days, sleeping on mats in a marquee.

At another unnamed Home Office facility, in Kent, young people sleep on the floor on padded mats with only a thin blanket for warmth.

Pictures released to the BBC show their room is sparsely decorated, with just a few books and a box of Scrabble as entertainment to help pass the time in the facility.

Writing in different languages is scrawled on the walls above a row of plastic chairs, fixed to the floor.

The BBC understands the facility is used to process unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.

A record number of migrants have arrived in the UK on small boats this year, with nearly 1,000 making the crossing on Saturday, a further 468 crossing on Sunday and 46 on Monday.

The home secretary told MPs on Monday that taxpayers face "a bill of £6.8m a day for hotel accommodation" for migrants.

No it is not a sackable offence in any other job. What SB did doesn’t come under gross misconduct. The documents were not classified, and she sent the docs to herself, no one else.

Also no idea why you had to mention she is a Bhuddist!

If the docs weren’t classified or otherwise sensitive, what she did with the emails is more of a minor disciplinary offence than a sacking offence.

Breach of GDPR is a criminal act. Even constituency party officers (all volunteers) are instructed not to use personal emails for sending documents.

She breached a government firewall. That in itself is suspicious. Were I head of MI5 or a Chief Constable I would tell her as little as possible from now on.

What is the accountability principle?
Part 3, Chapter 2 of the Act requires you to demonstrate that you comply with the principles and states explicitly that this is your responsibility as data controller.

How can we demonstrate that we comply?
You must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures that ensure and demonstrate that you comply. This may include internal data protection policies such as staff training, internal audits of processing activities, and reviews of internal HR policies.

In addition, you must:

maintain relevant documentation on your processing activities;
where appropriate, appoint a data protection officer; and
implement measures that meet the principles of data protection by design and data protection by default.
Such measures could include:

data minimisation;
pseudonymisation;
transparency, where appropriate;
creating and improving security features on an ongoing basis; or
data protection impact assessments where appropriate.

What is a personal data breach?
A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. This means that a breach is more than just losing personal data.
Being irresponsible with people’s data
If you don’t take adequate security measures to prevent or contain a serious personal data breach, this could lead to a fine. This is because it’s the law to protect people’s data if you’re a controller.

There are a number of steps you need to take to show you take your responsibilities seriously – some are straightforward, while others take a little more thought and planning. The ICO can’t tell you what to do. You need to decide for yourself how you’ll handle people’s personal data from the moment you collect it through to destroying it securely, and consider everything that could happen to it while it’s under your control.

There's a fine I'm guessing as a minimum

The attempt to downplay this is perplexing. Other people would get dismissed for using personal email accounts 7 times to read sensitive information.

This is the Home Sec of the UK.

 

[Robert]

It’s almost certain that the Hom Sec’s personal email is monitored by the FSB.

That’s why Ministers have secure comms, defended by GCHQ.

Forget personal emails, the CIA were caught spying and tapping secure communications of European leaders.

Perspective here people, Russia is not the only ones who are spying, the so called special friends across the pond have been spying on their NATO allies for decades - on secure comms, not personal emails. Even Obama had to apologise.

Look up Pegasus, Isreali software used by CIA and MI6 to spy on secure comms.

When will the liberal delusion stop?

Move on, nothing to see here.

So just to put it into perspective, Technics is now advocating that because everyone spies on each other and they have the means to circumvent national security defence measures we shouldn't hold the most senior officials in the land to any data protection standards.

Technics argument is that because bank databases can be hacked, it doesn't matter if the bank accidently discloses your personal financial details.

Technics argument is that because national security defences can be bypassed, it doesn't matter if a government minister or admin officer discloses your passport details.

Move on, nothing to see here.

Technics gets a letter in the post from his bank saying they've had a security breach, he just bins it, with full confidence all will be okay. Lol.

Technics going on some random tangent about spying when the issue is about ministerial security breaches, and implying further that Technics has no regard for his personal information being appropriately handled because Mossad and FSB already has it lol.

She sent the email to herself, to her own personal email account, not some 3rd party/random individual.

This is why she was reinstated as HS. It's a minor breach, and no different to taking official documents home.

Are you a little kid? Mail sent to personal email can be sent anywhere later, can be copied and done several other things. Its a breach plain and simple.

Liberals are caught lying by claiming the attachments were official secret docs, and the offence is a minor breach, not a major breach as claimed by LD and Labour supporters.

This is the point if you can read and follow.

Either a teenager or someone trolling

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We should expect our politicians to observe and obey the rules.

No matter how trivial or minor the breach is.

 

[the Great Khan]

Yeah not allowed but thus far lets look at the lies which have been debunked:

Official Secret Docs were sent - FALSE
SB breached the firewall - FALSE
By default a sackable offence - FALSE

I will defend the truth regardless of who it is.

Sorry but you are Aware that all civil servants and ministers are signatories to the official secrets act. If the document is marked official sensitive it is not permitted to send via personal emails to personal emails. This is a data breach and she rightly resigned.

It is also wrong to say it was a mistake. She knows full well what she was doing
Plz don't ask me how I know but I will just say that I know alot more about this stuff but won't reveal more here..

Yes, I am aware, except the document was not marked official secret. This is the point.

Had she sent a document marked official secret, then it's a different story.

As for a mistake, it is indeed genuine and probable. We have all been there, entering a recipient of an email is typically auto populated by the email client, and if the recipients has multiple email addresses, the first one is auto selected.

Moreover, the GOV Firewall needs a tighter security policy, which is not in the hands of end users, including MPs, and PM.

Sure, call SB incompetent because she is not IT savvy, but this notion that SB sent official secret documents to 3rd party users using her personal email has been proven false.

 

[the Great Khan]

A sackable offence in any other job. What a woman, a practicing Buddhist!

Slightly incorrect. Data breeches are common in govt. But it is the type and degree also the intention that matters.

So for example if say you were a govt officer and you were working with the police but sent some information about a case to the wrong police force. That's a data breech and you would get a slap on the wrist. If you kept doing it you would be dragged into a disciplinary.

If you are a home secretary you are the one who gives direction and leads..thus even a minor breech is a resiging offence. Especially if you pride yourself on your competence and claim you know what's what..

End of...

Yes but she did it 7 times..and there is the possibility thus that she could do it with sensitive material even if that may be unlikely the risk rises exponentially. Therefore is was right for her to resign and she should not have been reappointed.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Here we go, the lunatic LD and Labour party have nothing better to do than attack the Home Secretary. She made a mistake, sending an email via her personal account, big deal, move on and let her get on with her job.

It is clear LD and Labour offer no solutions to immigration, or any of the other problems the country is facing - they only exist because of the childish noise they create.

What's the tory solution to immigration? So far the only one they seem able to come up with is put a fudge brownie in the frontlines to say what needs to be said on behalf of the milky bar kids.

It's embarassing to be quite frank, it unintentionally says a lot more about what white people think than is intended.

I’ll tell you what this Milky Bar Kid thinks.

It’s a complex issue which doesn’t have one solution.

First, this country helped blow up Iraq, Libya etc. so has a moral obligation to take some refugees fleeing the oppressors who grew into the power gaps in those countries.

However, Albania is a stable country. There are no Albanian refugees. There are economic migrants. Lots. 80% are single men. Now, we need some low skill single men to work on the farms after the EU workers went home. This might start pushing the price of food back down too.

But the Home Office led by Fudge Brownie 1 and 2 has made it hard to emigrate here, in order to appeal to the racist element of the Milky Bar Kid vote. So emigrant people circumvent this by jumping on boats and claiming asylum. They aren’t asylum seekers and should be returned. However the Fudge Brownies have created a nonsensical Rwanda policy. This means sending £millions to Rwanda without actually deporting anyone, but again it makes them look tough to the NF / BNP Milky Bar Kids.

As for what I would do differently - rejoin the SM and Dublin Agreement.

The first would be for the MSM to address the point that had UK not destabilised foreign countries the situation wouldn't be as bad as it is, but not a single Liberal would dare admit to this point.

Secondly, rather than send money to Ukraine, send money to war torn nations and help them rebuild their nations, and lift sanctions, so said refugees have little reason to arrive at the UK.

Lastly, send a clear message to the Remoaners, rejoining the facist union that is the EU will not make a difference because immigration was far worse when the UK was in the EU, and if they are desperate to live in the EU, then they should leave the UK along with the illegal immigrants/refugees.

I don't want to go down this route again because it is a different subject, but the UK belongs in the EU for geographical purposes above all else. This also affects commerce and industry, not to mention freedom to travel within Europe under a common passport. I don't see how it is so much different from the USA in that regard. Do you think America would be stronger if it was split into 52 separate states all with their own currency?

Downing Street has defended Suella Braverman after she flew to an overcrowded migration centre in a £3,500-an-hour military helicopter.

The home secretary avoided questions from the press as she met the Dover coastguard and travelled to the Manston facility in a Chinook.

At one point in recent days, as many as 4,000 people were being detained at the site for weeks - even though it is only intended to hold 1,600 for no more than 24 hours.

The government claims more than 1,000 migrants have been moved from Manston this week, meaning 2,700 people remain at the facility.

And Downing Street officials stressed that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is receiving twice-daily updates on the situation.

Ms Braverman spent about two hours at Manston and left using a side gate - away from the journalists who were gathered at the main entrance.

While North Thanet's MP Sir Roger Gale was also seen leaving the processing centre, Dover MP Natalie Elphicke said it was a "great pity" that the home secretary had not taken the opportunity to meet other Kent politicians.

"The small boats crisis is not just in the migrant processing facilities, it is on our Kent beaches, schools, services and housing," she added.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt later said Ms Braverman was prepared to "face the music", even though she avoided questions from the media throughout yesterday.

The Home Office has said steps are being taken "immediately" to improve conditions at Manston - enhancing medical facilities, supplying extra bedding as well as providing better catering.

Ms Braverman added: "This is a complex and difficult situation which we need to tackle on all fronts and look at innovative solutions.

"To break the business model of the people smugglers, we need to ensure that the illegal migration route across the Channel is ultimately rendered unviable."

An asylum seeker who says he was among a group of migrants left stranded in central London on Tuesday night has said they were not told where they were going by officials.

The man - who gave his name as Hasibullah from Afghanistan - said he was among a group of 45 migrants who were removed from Manston and taken to Victoria coach station.

He told Sky News: "They tell us 'you go by bus'. We know that we go to London but we don't know where.

"When we reach London, the driver tell us 'you go out'. Then, we don't know where we go."

Hasibullah said officials had not told them where their accommodation was. His group later received support from volunteers, and they were eventually taken to a hotel in Norwich.

One of those volunteers, Danial Abass, told Sky News that he was on a routine walk to feed homeless people on Tuesday when he was approached by individuals who were "disoriented, desperate and completely lost" near Victoria coach station.

He said: "It was really a quite disturbing and distressing sight to see."

Mr Abass added that many of the men were wearing flip-flops, grey tracksuits, identification tags around their hands and "big blue industrial bin bags with no jackets or socks".

He took one of the men to Primark on Oxford Street and bought him jackets, shoes, clothes, hats and dinner from McDonald's.

A Home Office spokesperson said: "The welfare of those in our care is of the utmost importance and asylum seekers are only released from Manston when we have assurances that they have accommodation to go to.

"We worked at pace to find accommodation for the individuals as soon as we were notified, and they are now in accommodation and being supported."

"Dangerous Precedent": UK Parliamentary Body On Suella Braverman's Return As Minister

London: The reappointment of Indian-origin Suella Braverman as the British home secretary by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sets a “dangerous precedent” for how breaches of the ministerial code are dealt with, a cross-party parliamentary panel said in a report on Friday.

Braverman, 42, had resigned from the Cabinet of former prime minister Liz Truss, having breached the ministerial code by sending secure information from her private email. She was reappointed by Sunak on October 25, leading to growing calls for her resignation.

The House of Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee said the situation was “unsatisfactory” and that there needed to be a more “robust” system of upholding standards in public life.

“The reappointment of the home secretary sets a dangerous precedent,” the Committee's report said.

“The leaking of restricted material is worthy of significant sanction under the new graduated sanctions regime introduced in May, including resignation and a significant period out of office. A subsequent change in prime minister should not wipe the slate clean and allow for a rehabilitation and a return to ministerial office in a shorter time frame. To allow this to take place does not inspire confidence in the integrity of the government nor offer much incentive to proper conduct in future,” it said.

Braverman had resigned on October 19, days before her boss Liz Truss' own exit. She later told MPs that she made an "error of judgement... I took responsibility for it and I resigned".

Sunak has previously defended his fellow Indian-origin politician's reappointment to his so-called “unity Cabinet” bringing together different wings of the governing Tory party, saying she had “accepted her mistake”.

However, the Commons committee, which oversees parliamentary affairs, called on the government to toughen the system regulating standards and ethical conduct, especially in the wake of scandals such as 'Partygate' -- which involved COVID-19 law breaches at the heart of the government.

“It is incumbent on the government to ensure a robust and effective system for upholding standards in public life, with proper sanctions for those who break the rules,” Conservative Party MP William Wragg, chair of the committee, said.

“Our inquiry has found that although we have a sophisticated landscape of ethics watchdogs in the UK to safeguard standards in public life, they lack the power to enforce the rules. The prime minister is rightly the ultimate arbiter of the rules in our system. We urge him to show leadership and give legal status to all the ethics watchdogs,” he said.

Wragg said such a legal backing would act as a “better deterrent” for those who may be tempted to act improperly and further safeguard the integrity of public life in the United Kingdom.

The Committee also recommended that former ministers and civil servants who break the rules regulating the “revolving door” between government and private sector jobs should face legal action. Currently, former ministers are supposed to seek non-binding advice from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA).

Reacting to the report, the opposition Labour Party said the government had no plan to restore standards in public life after “years of sleaze and scandal”.

"We have been clear that this government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level and we are already taking action to improve the effectiveness of the business appointment rules," a UK Cabinet office spokesperson said, with reference to the report.

UK's Suella Braverman Vows Action After "Terrible Tragedy" Of Migrant Deaths

Britain's Home Secretary Suella Braverman on Wednesday pledged to work hard to destroy the business model of "people smugglers" after the deaths of four migrants attempting to cross the English Channel to reach the UK border illegally in a small boat.

As a major search and rescue operation was mounted, the Indian-origin home minister issued a statement in the House of Commons to update Parliament on the incident.

Around 43 migrants have been rescued alive in the operation that began in the early hours of Wednesday after their small boat capsized amid freezing temperatures.

“There is a multi-agency response to this terrible tragedy," Braverman told MPs.

"These are the days that we dread. Crossing the Channel in unseaworthy vessels is a lethally dangerous endeavour. It is for this reason above all that we are working so hard to destroy the business model of the people smugglers, evil, organised criminals who treat human beings as cargo," she said.

The minister referred to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's announcement to Parliament on Tuesday that a new permanent, unified small boats operational command will be formed to bring together military and civilian capabilities and the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA).

Braverman said the latest incident shows why new legislation, to be introduced next year, is needed which will make it "clear that if someone comes to the UK illegally, they should not be able to remain here" and will be "detained and swiftly returned to either their home country or to a safe country where their claim for asylum will be considered".

"Late or spurious claims and appeals will not be possible, and once someone has been removed they will have no right to re-entry, settlement or citizenship," she told Parliament.

Earlier, Sunak opened his weekly Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) by expressing his "sorrow" at the capsizing of a small boat and the tragic loss of human life.

"Our hearts go out to all those affected and our tributes to those involved in the extensive rescue operation," the British Indian leader said.

Opposition Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer added: "Our prayers go out to those who capsized in freezing waters of the Channel last night.

"It's a reminder that the criminal gangs running those routes put the lives of the desperate at risk and profit from their misery. They must be broken up and brought to justice." Thousands of people make dangerous journeys from various European countries and further afield in small boats and dinghies in an attempt to cross into the UK illegally and claim asylum.

The issue has been identified by the Sunak-led government as a priority, with a boost in border staff members to process claims speedily among the key plans unveiled this week.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak may withdraw from an international human rights treaty with an aim to crack down on illegal immigration in the country. The UK PM is prepared to pull out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in a bid to curb migrant arrivals, the Sunday Times reported.

The UK has been warned that 65,000 illegal migrants are expected to enter the country this year. According to these estimates, illegal immigration in the UK will rise by 50 per cent this year.

Rishi Sunak and Home Secretary Suella Braverman have started working on a new immigration legislation after the warning. The new laws could be unveiled within weeks, Bloomberg reported.

Tory councillor in Suella Braverman’s new constituency would “struggle” to campaign for the home secretary if she wins the nomination.

Caroline Brook said she “disagrees fundamentally” with Ms Braverman and would find it difficult to knock on doors to get her re-elected.

Ms Braverman is facing fellow Tory Flick Drummond in a party vote to become the party’s candidate for a proposed new constituency, Fareham and Waterlooville.

Constituency boundary changes will see the two Hampshire MPs go head to head in what has been dubbed the Battle of Waterlooville.

But Ms Brook, a Conservative councillor in Winchester, where Ms Braverman is hoping to represent, said she would “struggle” to support her.

Speaking to Times Radio, she said: "I’d struggle. I’d struggle. Yeah, I would, I’d struggle. I disagree fundamentally with her on some of her views.

“I’m sure in time I’d get to know her. And she’d actually pick up the phone and speak to me which she hasn’t during the whole process.”

One issue on which Ms Brook disagrees with the home secretary is her plans to reduce the number of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats.

As well as deporting some to Rwanda, the home secretary is planning to house Channel migrants on barges around the UK. Ms Braverman was expected on Wednesday to set out plans to put up more than 500 asylum seekers on a boat off the coast of Dorset.

The plan has faced opposition from the local Conservative MP Richard Drax as well as the Tory-run Dorset Council. Last month Ms Braverman said her planned crackdown on small boat crossings would ‘push the boundaries of international law’.

And Ms Brook, a councillor since 2016, said: “The boat policy, for example, I struggle with the way that’s being implemented.

“I’m not convinced that doing something that is borderline anti-international looking after international people, I fundamentally don’t think that we should border that and go ‘we think it’s it’s legal’

“Because that jeopardises our people who live abroad, our residents who live abroad because if we’re straddling that we think it’s legal it might not quite be, why should they treat our people in their countries fairly? So fundamentally, I disagree on some real key points.”

A number of constituency changes have been proposed across the UK as part of the 2023 boundary review.

The review started in January 2021, and its final recommendations are due to be presented by 1 July this year, with changes expected before the next election.

The Boundary Commission for England has closed its “final consultation” and is considering the feedback received.

Its plans would remove the existing Meon Valley and Fareham constituencies, and the two MPs are competing for the newly proposed constituency.

Ms Braverman has represented the Fareham constituency since 2015. Ms Drummond represented Portsmouth South between 2015 and 2017, and has represented Meon Valley since 2019.

The winner of the nomination is expected to be announced on Wednesday evening.

The peer, the UK's first South Asian cabinet minister, claimed the home secretary's comments on small boats and grooming gangs "emboldened racists".

She told the BBC she feared a backlash against British Asians and had told her dad not to walk home from the mosque.

Ms Braverman's spokesperson said she would "not shy away from hard truths".

Ahead of announcing plans for a new police taskforce to tackle grooming gangs, Ms Braverman said groups of "vulnerable white English girls" were being "pursued and raped and drugged and harmed by gangs of British Pakistani men who've worked in child abuse networks".

'Inflammatory and divisive'
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - who jointly launched the taskforce with Ms Braverman - said victims and whistleblowers had often been ignored by the authorities because of "cultural sensitivity and political correctness".

In an interview on Sky TV's Sophy Ridge on Sunday, the home secretary said grooming gangs had a "predominance" of "British Pakistani males, who hold cultural values totally at odds with British values".

Ms Braverman said police and council workers had "turned a blind eye to these signs of abuse out of political correctness and out of fear of being called racist" - referencing findings in several reports into grooming in Rochdale, Rotherham and Telford.

In a series of joint letters to the prime minister, a coalition of groups including senior medics and the British Pakistan Foundation called on Ms Braverman to withdraw her comments, which some labelled as "inflammatory and divisive".

Baroness Warsi, who chaired the Conservative Party between 2010 and 2012, backed the letters, adding that the home secretary's comments had left vulnerable British Asians fearful of attacks.

"I've had to warn my son that if people start swearing and shouting, to just remove himself from the situation to avoid it escalating into an attack. Why should I be having these conversations with my son?," she told BBC News.

"I've had to tell my dad if you go to the mosque don't walk home, we need to have someone taking him and bringing him back every day."

She said Ms Braverman "was tarnishing a whole community" by focusing on British Pakistanis, who were a "small subset" of perpetrators in a context of half a million children a year being sexually abused.

"If you look at the interviews she did, she gave no caveats," Baroness Warsi added.

"Ms Braverman basically said group sexual exploitation is a British Pakistani problem. At no point in those interviews did she say it was a small minority of British Pakistanis committing these crimes."

A 2020 Home Office study found offenders in child grooming gangs "are most commonly white", based on data from just under half of all police forces.

'Shock jock'
The same report found "a number" of high-profile cases had "mainly involved men of Pakistani ethnicity", but also highlighted "significant limitations to what can be said about links between ethnicity and this form of offending".

In 2012, while serving in David Cameron's cabinet, Baroness Warsi said a "small minority" of British Pakistani men believe "white girls are fair game" for sexual abuse.

Her comments followed revelations that a child grooming gang of mostly Pakistani men preyed on girls under the age of 16 in Rochdale.

Referencing her former comments, Baroness Warsi said: "I am the last person to say don't have bold and brave conservations with local communities - but they need to be based in fact.

"Suella Braverman needs to understand that when she opens her mouth she's speaking as a home secretary. She can't use loose language.

"This kind of 'shock jock' language is becoming a pattern with her. It feels like she more interested in the rhetoric and the noise of creating a culture war than the actual job."

Writing in the Guardian, Baroness Warsi added: "Whether this consistent use of racist rhetoric is strategy or incompetence, however, doesn't matter. Both show she is not fit to hold high office."

How many people cross the Channel in small boats?
A Home Office spokesperson said: "The Home Secretary has been clear that all despicable child abusers must be brought to justice.

"And she will not shy away from telling hard truths, particularly when it comes to the grooming of young women and girls in Britain's towns who have been failed by authorities over decades.

"As the Home Secretary has said, the vast majority of British-Pakistanis are law-abiding, upstanding citizens but independent reports were unequivocal that in towns like Rochdale, Rotherham and Telford cultural sensitivities have meant thousands of young girls were abused under the noses of councils and police.

"That's why we have announced a raft of measures, including a new police taskforce and mandatory reporting, to ensure this horrific scandal can never happen again, and bring members of grooming gangs to justice for the victims."

Ms Braverman's comments were supported in a joint statement from UK Sikh and Hindu faith groups. The letter praised Ms Braverman, for "courageously speaking out about the over representation of British Pakistani men in sex grooming gangs".

The letter, signed by crossbench peer Lord Singh of Wimbledon, said it was "false to label all Pakistani Muslim men as groomers" but politicians should not "allow political correctness to stifle obtaining justice for victims by addressing the actions of a minority".

Small boat numbers
Baroness Warsi also criticised Ms Braverman's claims that "100 million people" around the world could qualify for protection under current UK asylum laws - and that "they are coming here".

This refers to people forcibly displaced around the world as recorded by the UN's refugee agency. There is nothing to suggest they would all want to come to the UK.

The Home Office said Ms Braverman meant that illegal migrants were coming to the UK - pointing out that there had been a 500% increase in small boat crossings in two years.

Small boat arrivals accounted for about 45% of asylum applications made in 2022.

The behaviour of people arriving in the UK on small boats is "at odds with British values", the home secretary has claimed.

Speaking exclusively to Sky News, Suella Braverman said people making the dangerous Channel crossing - who include asylum seekers - were "behaving unacceptably" by "breaking our rules" and "abusing the generosity of the British people".

But she also claimed criminality was "very closely linked" to their arrival, telling our political correspondent Ali Fortescue: "We see that there are many people coming here illegally who are then getting involved in drugs, who are getting involved in violent crime, who are getting involved in prostitution.

"All of that is at odds with British values, all of that is unacceptable behaviour."

The Home Office was unable to point Sky News to crime statistics to back up these claims.

But a source from the department said chief constables and senior police officers had told the home secretary about "increased criminality relating to people who entered the UK on small boats", and she was "clear that those who enter the UK on small boats are breaking the law by definition of their route of entry".

Her remarks come as MPs are debating the Illegal Migration Bill in the Commons, with Tory rebels threatening to throw the government off course by introducing their own amendments .

One wing of the party, lead by veteran Conservative backbencher Tim Loughton, wants to make sure more safe and legal routes are introduced for asylum seekers to come to the UK.

Speaking in the debate, immigration minister Robert Jenrick said the government "accepts the need for greater clarity" in the area and would put a report to MPs within six months "detailing existing and proposed additional safe and legal routes for those in need of protection".

And he said ministers would "aim to implement the proposed new routes as soon as practicable and in any event by the end of 2024".

Another amendment being proposed by former Prime Minister Theresa May and former party leader Iain Duncan Smith seeks to protect victims of modern slavery.
