Kemi Badenoch, the head of the UK’s opposition Conservative Party, has suggested that a comprehensive travel restriction similar to those implemented in the U.S. might be “feasible” for foreigners entering Britain, emphasizing that the country should cease being seen as the “world's easiest entry point.”
On Friday, the Leader of the Opposition stated that Britain is experiencing an "assault" due to unlawful immigration, according to reports from local media outlets.
She stated that "the parliament should have the authority to determine who enters the nation, for what duration, and who must depart," clarifying that this could be achieved via methods like imposing travel restrictions.
Such situations can be feasible under certain conditions.
In a revival of his contentious initial term "Muslim ban," On Wednesday, Trump declared travel restrictions. to the United States for citizens from 12 countries he considers "uncontrolled."
This will affect individuals from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
The restriction is scheduled to come into force on Monday and will prevent citizens of these nations from entering the United States unless they meet an exception criterion.
Travel limitations will also be implemented for residents from an additional seven nations on that very day.
Nevertheless, Badenoch proceeded to state that she did not entirely endorse a Trump-like ban for the UK, noting that she was unclear about which specific countries would be impacted.
That does not imply that I concur with Donald Trump’s actions. My attention is more directed towards…what’s occurring here.
"Britain is blocked"
After delivering a speech at the Royal United Services Institute in Westminster, where she introduced a commission aimed at examining the possibility of withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), Badenoch shared her comments.
The international human rights agreement among the 47 member states of the Council of Europe safeguards fundamental rights and liberties for individuals.
She contended that the UK has "become overwhelmed by the asylum system" and is "being hindered."
Citing the ECHR, she pledged to crack down on "lawfare," which she claimed hinders border management and is employed to prevent the deportation of migrants.
I've consistently maintained that if we must withdraw from the convention, we should do so. After carefully examining the issue, I'm convinced that withdrawal might be necessary as I haven't found a straightforward and organized solution to address this using our present legal frameworks.
Badenoch has brought in an experienced barrister to examine the legal aspects of a possible UK exit from the ECHR.
The experienced attorney is slated to submit his findings during the upcoming Tory party conference, where the Tory head honcho plans to reach a conclusion regarding the issue with the European Convention on Human Rights. Nonetheless, she emphasized that such a decision would only be made alongside a well-defined strategy.
The leader of the far-right Reform UK party, Nigel Farage, declared earlier this year that his top priority upon becoming Prime Minister would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
In the meantime, the present Labour administration has dismissed the possibility of leaving it.
Last month, Nine European Union nations signed an open letter. requesting a reinterpretation of the ECHR to enable policy adjustments concerning migration. The signers, who think it ought to be simpler to deport immigrants involved in criminal activities, argue that the ECHR’s understanding of the convention needs review.
The Secretary of the Council of Europe, Alain Berset condemned their use of the court for political purposes.
