Former home secretary Suella Braverman has denied spreading poison within her own party to get rid of Rishi Sunak.
In a combative interview after the resignation of the immigration minister Robert Jenrick on Wednesday, Braverman told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme she was a “plain speaker” and not trying to remove the prime minister.
However, she refused to back Sunak’s Rwanda deportation plan, key to fulfilling one of his five pledges to the British people, insisting “the reality and sorry truth is, it just won’t work”.
She also again warned the prime minister of the “perilous situation” the Conservatives found themselves in given his pledge to stop the boats at the start of the year. » | Aletha Adu, Political correspondent | Thursday, December 7, 2023
