Pressure mounts on PM

Senior centrist Tory MP Matt Warman calls for significant reforms to the ECHR to toughen asylum and deportation policies.

Record number of arrivals

The UK sees the highest level of migrant arrivals via small boats in the first three months of 2023, adding urgency to the situation.

Stalled legislation

The Prime Minister's bill to deport refugees to Rwanda faces obstacles in the House of Lords, with peers attempting to dilute its impact.

Call for proper reforms

Warman emphasizes the need for substantial changes to the ECHR to benefit not only the UK but also refugees and other nations globally.

Debate over ECHR membership

While some urge the UK to withdraw from the ECHR, concerns arise over potential conflicts with other European nations and existing agreements.

PM's stance

Sunak remains determined to push through the Rwanda Bill despite opposition, asserting that a 'foreign court' will not hinder the UK's efforts.
