Suelo Braverman rules out introducing safe routes for Sudanese asylum seekers | Politics news

Suella Braverman has ruled out introducing a safe and legal route for asylum seekers in Sudan to seek asylum in the UK.

Rishi Sunak previously refused to go down such a route when pressed by Westminster SNP leader Stephen Flynn during PMQs.

Asked if the UK was going to “start looking for safe routes for refugees from Sudan”, Ms Braverman said: “We have no plans to do that.

“Our primary focus right now, and given that the situation is rapidly changing and complex, is to support British citizens and their dependents.”
