Kemi Badenoch demanded that Keir Starmer finally put Britain first amid a new row about asylum seekers from Palestine.
The Tory leader slammed the Government for refusing to say whether they will amend current laws, after a judge allowed a family of six from Gaza to apply for asylum in Britain via a scheme set up to help refugees from Ukraine.
Ms Badenoch demanded to know whether the government will appeal the judge’s outrageous ruling, or whether it will amend and clarify the existing law.
She blasted: “This needs to be changed!”
“We cannot be in the situation where we allow enormous numbers of people to exploit our laws in this way.”
The Tory leader also demanded a new law to curb the European Convention of Human Rights, which is allowing many foreign criminals to stay in Britain with outrageous claims.
One recent example included a man allowed to stay in Britain because his son may not like foreign chicken nuggets as much.
Ms Badenoch fumed: “The PM literally wrote a book on the ECHR. We need to put our national interest before the ECHR!”
She asked if he will be willing to introduce a new law to clarify the ECHR ‘right to family life’ clauses, regardless of whether it could breach international law.
