Home secretary uses populist speech at Tory conference to attack Human Rights Act and ‘luxury beliefs’ of liberal-leaning voters
Suella Braverman has warned of a “hurricane” of mass migration and attacked the “luxury beliefs” of liberal-leaning people in a populist speech aimed at cementing her position as a standard bearer of the Conservative right.
In a claim that will anger lawyers, judges and some within her own party, the home secretary told delegates at the Tory party conference that the Human Rights Act should be renamed the “Criminal Rights Act”.
