'Too many low-skilled migrants coming to UK,' Home Secy Suella Braverman claims

The newly appointed Home Secretary Suella Braverman has said that too many low-skilled migrants were entering the United Kingdom. Speaking to the Sun before the Conservative Party Conference, the former Attorney General said that the government was focused on reducing net migration.

Braverman also pointed out that the UK had a large number of students coming into the country, which already had a large number of dependents. The 42-year-old politician herself is a daughter of immigrant parents, Christie and Uma Fernandes, who migrated to the UK from Kenya and Mauritius.

In her interview before the restructuring of the Conservative government, Braverman told the media that her parents had nothing when they entered the UK. She added that Britain had given them hope and opportunity to grow and prosper, counting her education as a part of it.


Over the years, Braverman has strongly supported Brexit and has been vocal about her reservations about Britain’s relationship with the European Court of Human Rights. She raised many eyebrows when she expressed her thoughts of approaching the Court of Appeals after four people accused of tearing down the statue of Edward Colston, the infamous slave trader, were cleared of charges.
