Suella Braverman is all talk

Three cheers for Suella Braverman, hammer of the left. The Home Secretary has provoked yet more howls of indignation from progressives after describing anti-Israel demonstrations as ‘hate marches’. Speaking after Monday’s Cobra meeting, Braverman said: ‘We’ve seen now tens of thousands of people take to the streets after the massacre of Jewish people, the single largest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust, chanting for the erasure of Israel from the map. To my mind there is only one way to describe those marches: they are hate marches.’

Suella Braverman’s right-wing philippics are her version of ‘build the wall’

Finally, someone willing to tell it like it is. That is, after all, what Braverman does. When Tory voters despair at their clueless, ineffectual, ideologically impotent government, many console themselves that at least Braverman is there, fighting the good fight. The Home Secretary is true blue, the standard bearer for the right. She says what ordinary people think, about immigration, about multiculturalism, about extremism, and that’s why she is so vilified by the progressive media.
