When anticipated humility became a blame-fest

Suella Braverman approached the Dispatch Box on Monday (October 31st) faced with such a catalogue of complaints laid against her that most politicians would have shown contrition and resigned. But Braverman envelopes herself in a cloak of self esteem and mock humility and derides criticism as the mistakes of others' misunderstanding of her 'alternative facts'.

When even the local Conservative MP for Manston says he doesn't trust you, then the whole country should be very worried!
"Her language yesterday, I'm afraid, suggested that she is only really interested in playing the right wing." (Sir Roger Gale MP)

But her dangerous follies don't just lie in unpleasant and inflammatory rhetoric but in flagrant disregard for legal processes and advice. Not only does she not take advice proffered by her own department but she derides others as failing to acknowledge her competence and motives.

The decision by Sunak to re-employ Braverman shows a lack of judgement and a weakness at the core of this administration or a cynicism which ensured his leadership victory. If she is supposed to be in charge of the Home Office - a hugely important and diverse role - then the government must hold her to account for the now admitted multiple breaches of email protocol.
Her statement to the Commons yesterday was complacent and arrogant. The worst combination in a politician who shows little regard for the safe practices of government.

She has opened herself up to widespread ridicule. https://twitter.com/Trump_ton/status/1587364042166996992

Time to demand her resignation. Arrogance is no qualification for her continued employment.
