Suella Braverman today led a Tory backlash against Rishi Sunak's 'failed' Brexit deal following a bombshell court ruling in Northern Ireland.
Speaking in the House of Commons, the former home secretary claimed Mr Sunak's deal means Northern Ireland 'is effectively to be treated as part of the EU'. An intervention by the High Court in Belfast has raised the prospect of it being impossible for the Home Office to deport Chennel migrants to Rwanda if they travel to Northern Ireland.

'Isn't the only way out of this. given the muddle the courts are creating, to have an urgent short piece of legislation that asserts beyond doubt we control our own borders?' 'But, should those negotiations fail, to leave. Because if we aren't prepared to walk away they'll never take us seriously.' Mr Robinson asked what steps the Government is taking to secure 'a British Isles solution to immigration, outside of the control of the EU'.
'We do not accept that the Good Friday Agreement should be read so creatively as to extend to matters such as tackling illegal migration, which is a UK-wide issue and not in any way related to the original intention of the Good Friday Agreement.' He told GB News: 'We will ensure we will do everything that's required to make sure… that Northern Ireland can't be in this position. Because we believe firmly in being able to control our own borders.
