Yikes 😬 I think her plan is to put everyone in the country off voting for the Conservatives. What a stupid route to take for the shambles that is the Home Secretary.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The home secretary told an audience at the right-wing American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in Washington DC that “we now live in a completely different time” from when the convention was signed.

    On Tuesday morning, Police Minister Chris Philp told the BBC the convention was being exploited by “economic migrants to try and claim asylum to move between countries”.

    "But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if in effect, simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection.

    “I have confidence that her dog whistles won’t be heard internationally so she should spend her time on sorting out the appalling backlog of asylum claims rather than distracting us by victim blaming,” Mr Boff said.

    The home secretary’s speech comes as the government prepares for a Supreme Court hearing on whether its plan for tackling small boat crossings is legal.

    They are punishable by life imprisonment and, in some parts of northern Nigeria, by death (according to The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association)
