Kemi Badenoch BACKS Donald Trump-style travel bans and says Britain is being ‘mugged’ by migration
KEMI Badenoch has said she would back Trump-style travel bans — as she warned Britain is being “mugged” by illegal immigration.
The Tory leader said there are scenarios where blocking people from certain countries is “viable”.
It comes days after the US President signed an executive order banning citizens from 12 countries from entering America — in the name of national security.
Asked by The Sun if she would ever consider following suit, Ms Badenoch said: “Parliament needs to be able to decide who comes into the country, for how long, and who needs to leave — and that does include travel bans.
“On a country-specific basis it’s much tougher, it’s often more vague.
“But I think there are scenarios where that is viable.”
She added: “That doesn’t mean that I agree with what Donald Trump has done… I haven’t actually seen the list of countries that he’s banned people from.
“I’m much more focused on what’s happening here.”
Mr Trump’s new executive order blocks entry to nationals from 12 countries — including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Afghanistan — citing the threat of foreign terrorism.
The crackdown revives his first-term “Muslim ban” and forms part of his hardline immigration pledge.
Back in London, the Tory leader delivered a fiery speech declaring the UK had “lost control” of its asylum system and said she would “likely” pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights to fix it.
She warned: “We cannot become the destination for everyone looking for a new home or a better life. Nor can we be the world’s softest touch.
“In some years our approval rate was above 80 per cent. Last year, Japan’s was 2 per cent.
“Britain is being mugged.”
She said human rights laws had been “stretched and distorted” by activist lawyers and were now being used to block deportations of dangerous criminals.
The Tory chief announced a commission, led by Shadow Attorney General Lord Wolfson, to draw up plans for how the UK could leave the ECHR — with a final decision due by the autumn Tory Party conference.
Ms Badenoch said: “I have always said that if we need to leave the Convention, we should.
“And having now considered the question closely, I do believe that we will likely need to leave — because I am yet to see a clear and coherent way to fix this within our current legal structures.”
She also confirmed the Tories are working on a new third-country deportation scheme to replace the scrapped Rwanda plan.
Her intervention comes amid growing anger over blocked deportations – with Nigel Farage‘s Reform UK already pledging to quit the ECHR altogether.
Calls to overhaul the ECHR are also gaining traction across Europe – with the treaty’s own chief yesterday saying there should be “no taboo” on rewriting the rules.
Council of Europe boss Alain Berset told The Times the 75-year-old convention must “adapt” to tackle the scale of modern migration.
He urged governments – including Britain – to open political talks, saying: “We need discussion about the rules that we want to have, and there is no taboo.”
It comes after leaders in Italy, Denmark and seven other nations have demanded more power to deport criminals and block irregular migration.
Downing Street this morning welcomed discussion about changing the Convention.
The Labour Government has always vowed to pass laws ordering courts to throw out ridiculous appeals to European laws by foreign offenders or illegal migrants.
A No 10 spokesman said: “Border security is vital to national security, and we welcome efforts to ensure the European Convention on Human Rights is being applied correctly and allowing countries to protect their borders.
“It’s important there is discussion on how the ECHR operates to ensure it can safeguard human rights while meeting the needs of democracies. The Prime Minister has been clear on this, it should be Parliament that makes the rules on immigration and Government that makes the policy.
“That’s why this Government is actually taking action on the ECHR. Our immigration White Paper sets out new plans through legislation to tighten the application of the ECHR, giving courts the clarity they need so our immigration rules are no longer abused, and as the Prime Minister has said, we want to ensure the right balance is made in migration cases in relation to the national interest.”
Glam Epsom racegoers turn heads at Ladies’ Day with stylish dresses and bold headwear as they sip bubbly in the sun
LADIES’ Day has kicked off in style at Epsom Races with women dressed to the nines for the racing action.
From pastel midi dresses to jaw-dropping headpieces, many glamorous attendees have pulled out all the stops with their fashion looks – including Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo.
Jungle Queen Toff, 30, was characteristically elegant in a brown polkadot shirt and white maxi skirt.
Today is day one of The Betfred Derby Festival and guests appear in high spirits at the prestigious event.
In typical Ladies’ Day fashion, guests have donned their fanciest dresses as they pop bottles of bubbly to celebrate.
Many have matched their fascinators and hats to their colourful ensembles for the full wow effect.
And many groups of friends have been seen posing for selfies to document the day.
Every year, the Surrey-based Epsom Downs Racecourse welcomes over 155,000 racegoers over the two-day racing bonanza.
While the popular Ladies’ Day is taking place today, the world’s greatest Flat race, the Epsom Derby, is roaring back into action on Saturday.
This year the event has been hit by yellow weather warning with thunderstorms and hail predicted to smash the famous track for the biggest race of the year.
There is no official dress code in the Grandstand enclosure at The Betfred Derby Festival, but attendees are encouraged to dress to “feel your best.”
The website advises outfits can be anything “from bright and bold to subtle and sophisticated.”
They added: “This is racing’s most spectacular carnival, after all.”
However, some clothing items are banned.
The racecourse prohibits “inappropriate or offensive outfits” or sports clothes featuring “team colours” or “team kits.”
While the main areas of the racecourse are more relaxed, those with tickets for the Queen Elizabeth II Stand, will have to follow a formal dress code.
Guests should wear “either black or grey morning dress with a top hat, service dress or full national costume is obligatory on Derby Day.”
It adds: “You must wear formal day dress or a tailored trouser suit, with a hat or fascinator.”
The Epsom Derby is held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey on the first Saturday of June each year, and it dates back to 1780.
The iconic race is taking place on Saturday June 1 at 4.30pm BST and fans can watch the race live on ITV1 and Racing TV.
What is the dress code for Epsom Derby?
THE Epsom Derby takes place on the first Saturday of June each year and combines the best in fashion with thrilling horse racing.
The main Grandstand has no official dress code, but Epsom encourages racegoers to come “dressed to feel your best”.
They advised guests to channel everything from “bright and bold to subtle and sophisticated.”
However, The Queen Elizabeth II stand does have a dress code and requests formal day dresses or suits with a hat or fascinator.

And it was announced today that Doireann’s sister Ailbhe is also pregnant.
The Dublin beauty and her husband Ruaidhri Hehir, who she married in 2019, already have two sons, Sean, four, and Fionn, two.

She shared a black&white photo of her little ones holding up a book with the words, ‘There’s a house inside my mummy’, written at the front.

The eldest Garrihy sister, Aoibhin, wrote: “Another angel to love with all our hearts.”
RTE star Carl Mullen said: “Ahhh this is absolutely fab news, massive congrats to you all.”
Emma added: “Congratulations! Another angel to love. Another lively laugh in your house. Another pair of giddy feet flitting across your floorboards. What a gift.”
Doireann and her husband Mark Mehigan exchanged vows six months ago at the K Club, Kildare, on November 29, 2024.
The 2FM host took to Instagram last week to share some stunning photos of their wedding day as they’re six months married.

Doireann said: “The perfect addition to my iced coffee. Mark surprised me with a smaller version of our wedding cake.
“Chocolate biscuit from 2210. Like… the most sensationally delicious thing of all time. This will be breakfast.”
While Mark paid his own special tribute for Doireann with a loved-up wedding snap and said: “Six months married to the beautiful Doireann Garrihy today.

Love Island’s Ben reveals Casa Amor game plan and admits he’s not scared to step on toes
LOVE Island star Ben has revealed his Casa Amor game plan, and admitted he’s not scared to step on toes.
The hunky Islander, 23, is one of the new singletons looking for love on the ITV2 dating show.
And he spoke about the possibility of reaching the Casa Amor stage of the show, and how he’d act if he did.
Ben told The Sun and other press: “If I’ve got loyalty to a girl, I would do my absolute best to go and sleep outside on my own.
“But if we’re kind of 50/50, and there’s five new girls coming in, it’s going to be hard not to just, you know.
“Basically, I’ve got to go and say hello, we’ve got to get to know each other, so at least we’ll see when we’re there I guess.”
Ben also discussed his villa ‘game plan,’ adding: “I’m not going to be afraid to step on anyone’s toes.
“I think when you’re in there you’ve got to look out for yourself, and you’ve got to get what you want in there at the end of the day.
“Everyone’s in the same boat, so if it’s early days in there and there’s a girl I like and I have no loyalties to anyone, it’s fair game.”
And he’s open to getting down and dirty in the villa – and has even worked out a way to hide his bedroom antics.
About having sex in the villa, Ben said: “I can never say never, you know, you gotta take every day as it comes.
“Who knows if there’s a girl and I sharing a bed with and she’s sexy, who knows what it’s gonna cuddling every night, it could get carried away.”
The 6ft 2ins model from Gloucester teased: “The hideaway is there for the taking as well, so we’ll wait and see.
“I’ve already told my family that I will try and keep it as PG as possible, because I have my niece watching so I do need to make an effort to keep it PG.
“But then again, there’s nothing wrong with just putting a quick cover over, so I could just do that and people will think we’re just having a quick cuddle, and that that is all it was.”
