Braverman today:
"I know they have tried to make me into a hate figure because I tell the truth.
The blunt, unvarnished truth about what is happening in our country."
"I tell the truth" She said. Does she?
From her resignation letter to Liz Truss:
"Earlier today, I sent an official document from my personal email to a trusted parliamentary colleague as part of policy engagement, and with the aim of garnering support for government policy on migration. This constitutes a technical infringement of the rules … nevertheless it is right for me to go. Pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility; I resign."
Six days later, this was proven to be falacious cant as she accepted Sunak's offer to return to the government in the same job.
Introducing her immigration bill in March:
"Let's be honest, there are 100 million people around the world who could qualify for protection under our current rules. Let's be clear they are coming here."
Let's be honest Suella? Honest? https://fullfact.org/immigration/suella-braverman-100-million-claim/
On her own CV - From the Big Issue: Claims by new Home Secretary Suella Braverman that she “contributed” to a legal textbook have been rubbished by the book’s author – who says she merely did some photocopying for him.
She also stated that "almost all" members of grooming gangs were British Pakistani men, when in reality a report from her own Home Office had already shown this statement to be false.
We'll forgive her office briefing newspapers that her views had been made clear to Essex police over gollywogs being seized from a pub, as, although this was proven to be a false statement, it only came from her office, not her mouth.
With the recent discussion of Madness, 'Shut up' springs to mind. Both for "I'm as honest as the day is long, the longer the daylight, the less I do wrong," and for another, more obvious, reason.

This is what happens when you quietly disagree with the Home Secretary.
Just Stop Oil ? No he's the Conservative Chair of the London Assembly

This conference is an absolute sham.

Collateral damage of a divide and (hopefully) rule Government.
Delivers that speech then goes outside and treads on a Guide Dog
Absolute wrong 'un

Don’t worry, those staunch defenders of free speech, GBeebies will be along any second now to defend his rights. Any second now. Right now. Now. They are coming, aren’t they?

A Conservative who actually has the balls to call out what the extremists have done to his party. A very rare individual
Don't worry about it. Simply another nail in their coffin come the next election

heckler is bit weird though, having 3 cameras, stewards on standby to pounce on a bearly audible comment. seems rather prepared.
