Suella Braverman says she has a “dream”. And what is it that she dreams of?
At a fringe event at the Tory party conference last week, the new home secretary said it was to see a newspaper front page with a picture of a plane taking off to Rwanda, deporting people from the UK.
Later the same day, in her first major speech in her new job, Braverman thanked Priti Patel for the “foundations” she had laid in toughening the immigration system.
In an opinion piece for The Guardian, academic and author Maya Goodfellow writes: "Braverman said her “ultimate aspiration” was to reduce “net migration” by only allowing “immigration that grows our economy” – which means the “high-skilled” not the “low-skilled” kind.
"We already have a good idea of what this means: barring people from moving just because of their qualifications, class or how much money they have, while bringing in people deemed “economically necessary” to exploit them as long as it suits the "British economy".
Here @mayagoodfellow shares her thoughts on the key things we should know about Patel's successor.
