Kemi Badenoch considering visa cap if Tories return to power

Party leader could revive deportations for people who arrive on small boats but did not recommit to Rwanda plan

Kemi Badenoch is considering a new cap on visas if the Conservatives return to power and has admitted that previous Tory governments had failed to keep their promises on immigration.

In her first policy intervention as party leader, she also said pulling out of human rights laws may not be the most radical thing" that her future government will have to do to control the flow of people into the UK.
