UK. Home Secretary Suella Braverman is to give a speech today in which she will argue that giving asylum to refugees on the basis they fear persecution over their sexuality in their home country is a major reason why there has been an upsurge in asylum applications.

To put this into context, there were 74,751 asylum applications (relating to 89,398 people) in the UK in 2022 and just 2% of those cited sexual orientation.

She's lying. Again.
