Braverman article: Home Sec is running a leadership campaign, not her department

8 Nov 2023

Responding to Suella Braverman's article in the Times in which the Home Secretary says that "there is a perception that senior police officers play favourites when it comes to protesters", Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP said:

"Suella Braverman is running a Conservative party leadership campaign, not the Home Office. 

"The Home Secretary's desire to stoke divisions and ramp up tensions in this way is irresponsible and dangerous. Instead of working with the police, she is doing everything in her power to make their already challenging jobs harder.

"This government by press release has made her the most disastrous and reckless Home Secretary of modern times."
