Just a few days before the Conservative Party conference, the home secretary set out how she thought the global asylum system should be changed. The address was made to a US think tank as Ms Braverman visited Washington DC.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman has called for a reform of the international asylum system, saying it is no longer fit for purpose.She branded the number of displaced people in the world as an"epoch-defining challenge" - the same language the government uses to describe China.
Part of her speech criticised how current levels of migration have led to"undermining the stability and threatening the security of society" in"extreme cases". She said:"We are living with the consequence of that failure today. You can see it play out on the streets of cities all over Europe. From Malmo, to Paris, Brussels, to Leicester."
