Suella Braverman has hit out at a key British human rights law, claiming she was surprised it was not called the "Criminal Rights Act".Ms Braverman drew migration battle lines between the Conservatives and Labour ahead of the next general election in her speech at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester.She suggested the Human Rights Act, introduced under the last Labour government, was among a series of laws and regulations which had "enmeshed" the Government's effort to tackle the small boats crisis in the English Channel.Home Office figures have confirmed that more than 25,000 people have been detected crossing the Channel in small boats this year.The Prime Minister has made tackling the crossings one of the five priorities of his leadership, with Ms Braverman warning against "luxury beliefs" in open borders, and that Britain under a Labour government would "go properly woke".
