Tories’ large mistake in authorities was not ‘overruling human rights legal guidelines’ shadow minister claims

Shadow Cabinet Office minister Alex Burghart says the earlier authorities ought to have overruled human rights laws in coping with asylum seekers.

He advised Trevor Phillips the laws was "preventing them from taking the tough action that was absolutely necessary".

"The mistake that we made was that we did not go far enough on, overruling human rights legislation that was binding the hands of the last government and preventing them from taking the tough action that was absolutely necessary," he mentioned.

"I think by the end, we actually got to that point, and the general election prevented that legislation from being implemented."
