Sunak’s bill would have closed door on Mo Farah and me, says charity chief

Scottish Refugee Council head says under government's plans thousands of refugees would have been denied sanctuary

The head of the Scottish Refugee Council, Sabir Zazai, who arrived in the UK in the back of a lorry 23 years ago, has said Rishi Sunak's illegal migration bill would have denied sanctuary to thousands of refugees such as him and Sir Mo Farah.

The home secretary, Suella Braverman, struggled to clarify on Wednesday whether the Olympic gold medallist Farah would have been deported as soon as he turned 18 years old under the latest immigration proposals.
