Although less combative than usual, the former home secretary moaned about migration and said she would vote Trump
Former home secretary, Suella Braverman, showed us a side of her that had been unseen for years on LBC radio's mid-morning programme.Former home secretary, Suella Braverman, showed us a side of her that had been unseen for years on LBC radio's mid-morning programme.Fair to say that most listeners tuning in to LBC at 10am on Tuesday morning would have been in for a shock. Regular presenter James O’Brien was off on his hols and in his place was.
The first hour was taken up with illegal immigration. Something Braverman considers to be her specialist subject. She began with an apologia. The Tories hadn’t delivered on stopping the boats. But that was Rishi Sunak’s fault. She had tried to put in place the Rwanda plan but had been thwarted at every turn. Her only motivation had been her compassion. A desire to find a better life for people who had been fleeing persecution. Just so long as that better place wasn’t the UK.
Other callers pointed out that Suella had always known the Rwanda plan had only ever been an unworkable gimmick and that leaving the European convention on human rights would make us an international pariah. Braverman thanked them profusely for their contributions and observed that illegal migration was a much more complex problem than many people think. No shit. Suella included.
Unsurprisingly almost no one agreed with Braverman. One by one the counter arguments came in. What about the fact Trump was a proven liar and a sexual abuser? What about the fact that he had been found guilty of 34 felony counts? What about the fact that he had instigated the riot on Capitol Hill by claiming the election had been rigged? What about his support for Putin?
