Sacking Suella could sink Sunak

If prizes were dished out for saying what the unwashed and un-woke are thinking then Suella Braverman would be garlanded in medals and have a mantelpiece groaning with trophies. The Home Secretary scored bullseye of the year when she said that multiculturalism had failed. A couple of weeks later groups of people waving Palestinian flags and dressed in the garb of the Middle East could be seen dancing in the streets of London as news broke of the 7 October pogrom by Hamas: No further questions, your honour.

Since then, she has made utterances that have shot to the top of the news agenda several times more. Demonstrations taking place ostensibly to call for a ceasefire in Gaza but serving as platforms for those who wish to eradicate Israel and wage jihad in the West have been denounced by Braverman without qualification as ‘hate marches’.

For good measure she threw in a high-octane soundbite about rough sleepers just this weekend, claiming that for many of them homelessness was a ‘lifestyle choice’.
