 #Tories #Immigration #CONservatives

🚨*Fearing discrimination for being gay or a woman not qualification for #Asylum, says #Braverman*🚨

Addressing a #US think tank, Braverman will question whether the application of the UN's 1951 #Refugee Convention is "fit for our modern age".

With #Sunak weak & vulnerable, the fiscally unhinged #Truss & grotesque fascist Braverman make early plays to lead the #Tory far right in anticipated leadership bids.

The #CONservatives have seriously lost the plot. 😳

 @0f342e77 She speaking in the US but she's targeting a UK audience. Plenty here are discriminated against & whatever she claims, her speech will trigger some into thinking others (foreigners) treated no worse than them can get asylum here & jump the queue for rights and benefits. Being a discriminated against woman has never on its own been grounds for refugee status otherwise all women would likely qualify. Imo she's triggering a fight against a non-existant problem & stoking resentment.

I hope Sunak's 12 month anniversary triggers a VONC and there'll be a leadership contest after that.

I hope their in-fighting continues. 🍿
