Human rights groups decry home secretary’s plan to stop ‘endless legal claims’
Priti Patel has called the asylum system “fundamentally broken” and promised new laws to deny asylum to those using illegal routes to enter the UK, causing dismay among human rights groups.
Speaking at the Conservative party conference, the home secretary said she would bring in legislation next year to stop “endless legal claims” from refused asylum seekers and was willing to face “being unpopular on Twitter” in order to bring claims down.
