How do you solve a problem like Suella? Rishi Sunak is facing calls to expel Braverman from the Conservative party following her remarks about the LGBTQ+ flag, according to the BBC. The Beeb felt fit to run the story even though it was only able to find one failed parliamentary candidate and one failed council candidate to go on the record making such a call. Braverman’s purported sin was to state opinions about trans issues and the ‘progress Pride’ flag that some on the left of the Tory party, as well as activists in designated left-wing parties, considered disgusting. ‘The Progress flag says to me, one monstrous thing: That I was a member of a government that presided over the mutilation of children in our hospitals,’ she told a conference in Washington.
So Sunak is now being lobbied at least to follow a carbon copy approach to that deployed against Lee Anderson when he mouthed off about Sadiq Khan having handed over London to Islamist extremists.
