| What Suella Braverman wrote in her parting shot to Rishi Sunak... and why she wrote it |
| 2023-11-15 |
| Mrs Braverman reveals a previously unknown written deal with Rishi Sunak, setting out areas in which she says he agreed to back her. These included several specific policies on immigration, as well as on post-Brexit agreements and protecting biological sex and 'same sex spaces'. She says Mr Sunak agreed to a 'document with clear terms' during his second leadership campaign in October last year, in exchange for her 'pivotal' support in his bid to take over from Liz Truss as Prime Minister. Mrs Braverman goes on to accuse him of then treating their deal with 'equivocation, disregard and a lack of interest'. Mrs Braverman confirms for the first time that she wanted the Illegal Migration Act — passed earlier this year — to go much further. She believed it would be necessary to disapply human rights law in illegal migration cases, making it easier to deport people. But Mr Sunak insisted on 'compromises' in the legislation, she says. Mrs Braverman asserts that, even if the Government wins its appeal over legal challenges to its Rwanda policy in the UK's Supreme Court today, ministers will 'struggle' to implement it. ...Mrs Braverman makes the remarkable claim that the Prime Minister failed to reply to 'multiple' letters in which she proposed a back-up plan to the Rwanda scheme. She is not specific about what the scheme would have involved. But her letter says she 'repeatedly' urged Mr Sunak to pass new laws that 'would better secure us against the possibility of defeat'. She accuses him of having 'no appetite for doing what is necessary'. Mrs Braverman confirms there is 'no hope of flights this side of an election' if the Supreme Court rules against the Government today. |
