Suella Braverman has expressed how the Government "must exclude" human rights laws to push through a plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda before the next general election.

She also commented that the current plan Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had would not achieve the Government's aims.

Mr Sunak is currently planning emergency legislation to rescue the policy after the Supreme Court ruled it unlawful.

In its ruling, the Supreme Court said there were "substantial grounds" to believe those deported to Rwanda could be sent back to places where they would be unsafe, BBC News reports.

Responding directly to the ruling, Mrs Braverman wrote in The Telegraph how she would approach pushing the plan through.

Mrs Braverman, who was sacked as Home Secretary on Monday (November 13), explained that unless Mr Sunak went further with his current plan it would be unlikely it would be put into effect before the next general election.

The next general election is expected to be held towards the end of 2024.

Discussing how she would approach the situation, she expressed how the Government should "exclude" certain human rights laws.

She wrote: "To do this, the Bill must exclude all avenues of legal challenge. The entirety of the Human Rights Act and European Convention on Human Rights, and other relevant international obligations, or legislation, including the Refugee Convention, must be disapplied by way of clear “notwithstanding” clauses.

"Judicial Review, all common law challenges, and all injunctive relief, including the suspensive challenges available under the Illegal Migration Act must be expressly excluded.

"Individuals would, however, be given the chance to demonstrate that they had entered the country legally, were under 18, or were medically unfit to fly – but Home Office decisions on these claims could not be challenged in court."

She added that the UK must take practical steps to improve Rwanda's asylum system, for example by embedding UK observers or independent reviewers of asylum decisions there.

Legislation must also make clear those arriving in the UK illegally would be detained until removal.

Mrs Braverman concluded: "There is no longer any chance of stopping the boats within the current legal framework."
