Green party calls for breakup of Home Office after Windrush scandal

'Ministry of sanctuary' could run more liberal immigration system, conference to be told

The Green co-leader Jonathan Bartley says the Home Office should be broken up in response to failures over the hostile environment policy, as he seeks to position the party as "the antidote to populist authoritarianism" from Boris Johnson and others.

The Greens are holding their annual conference in Newport following success in local and European elections. Bartley's speech to the event calls for radical change to tackle the anxieties of voters, exemplified by the Brexit vote.
