Suella Braverman’s unlikely reading material

Since her (first) appointment to the Home Office, Suella Braverman has been at pains to point out that she is no fan of the left. The Fareham MP spent her final day in office under Liz Truss railing against the ‘Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati’ in parliament, shortly before departing and returning less than a week later under Rishi Sunak.

For their part, the Guardian have returned the love, running a string of critical stories of the Home Secretary since her return. But is there now a thawing in relations between the newspaper and the minister? For just weeks after decrying the Graun in the House, Braverman’s department signed a £30,000, one-year contract for the press and private office’s hard copy newspaper requirements, which of course included daily delivery of… the Guardian. Keeping tabs on the enemy, perhaps?

Still, at least Suella can get some sounder thinking from one source on her list: The Spectator is among the aforementioned publications too.
