Home Secretary Suella Braverman challenges PM in front of Cabinet over his plans to hand 1000s of student visas to India

HOME Secretary Suella Braverman challenged the PM in front of the whole Cabinet over his plans to hand thousands of student visas to India.

She told Rishi Sunak she was unhappy at inviting more migrants following the 1.2million UK arrivals last year.

The Sun revealed last week how the PM is gearing up to sign off plans for thousands more student and business visas ahead of a big trade deal with India — and told of their Cabinet split.

But on Tuesday, Mr Sunak told Ms Braverman he will push ahead to “benefit the UK for decades to come” — as he prepares the biggest trade deal since Brexit.

He will fly to the G20 summit in New Delhi this weekend and could return to sign off a deal in weeks.

A trade agreement with India is seen as a huge personal project for the PM and would demonstrate the benefits of quitting the EU, insiders say.

Britain wants India to slash tariffs on whisky and cars and grant access to its huge financial and legal services market.

But Tory MPs are furious at the idea of opening the door to even more migration.
