Suella Braverman unveiled the Illegal Migration Bill today in the Commons. The Home Secretary said that Britain had been ‘taken for a ride’, as she revealed the government’s plan to detain asylum seekers for up to 28 days ‘without bail or judicial review until they can be removed’. Will this contravene the European Convention on Human Rights? And even if it does, will it make a difference to small boats crossings? 

James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Fraser Nelson.
