Home Secretary Suella Braverman is heckled at Conservatism Conference | 5 News In six weeks time the blueberries will be ripe at Winterwood Farm in Kent and who's going to be picking them?

So defining conservatism. But the Home Secretary wants to wean us off after a noisy start at the National Conservatism Conference. What is the next line of that? We welcome you unless you come on a boat. To Heckler's a reminder of the division migration in Vokes she set out her vision. And we mustn't forget how to do things for ourselves.

Rishi Sunak to launch new bill to ending asylum seeker claims from small boat arrivals | 5 News If the government gets its way, people arriving like this will not be allowed to claim asylum in future. They'll be sent to a safe country like Rwanda where the government's done a deal and they will be banned from coming here for life. The principle is those seeking asylum should only come through government sponsored schemes. Let's not forget that many people that are on these boats have traveled through a variety of safe countries to get here and we've got to ensure that we've got enough support for our people that are here in the UK.
