Braverman Says Immigration Threatens UK ‘National Character’

Home Secretary Suella Braverman lashed out against the UK’s soaring immigration levels, as she staked out a claim to succeed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in a potential future Conservative Party leadership contest.

With official statistics next week expected to show record net arrivals in the UK last year, Braverman urged to bring down numbers that she said threatened the “national character.” Britons should be trained to take roles currently being filled by immigrants, she told NatCon UK, a conference of the Tory right organized by the Washington-based Edmund Burke Foundation, a public affairs institute.
