Suella Braverman has positioned herself as an advocate for the right-wing Conservative Party, party officials say she is acting as a “puppet” for rebels over the controversial Straits immigration law. He said the government had no choice but to deny the allegations.
The Home Secretary is now focused on negotiations with Tory lawmakers who want to strengthen her illegal immigration bill to weaken the role of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
Home Office sources did not deny suggestions that Braverman had fought for tougher laws in the Cabinet, but amid concerns that Attorney General Victoria Prentiss was violating international law. It was dismissed by Rishi Sunak, who said the claims were “speculation.”
But the No 10 was forced to deny reports on Monday that the Home Secretary is secretly working with Tory rebels on an amendment to strengthen the bill to put pressure on Downing Street. .
The idea of Mr Braverman working closely with right-wing back-ventures has been debated among Tory lawmakers for some time. A former cabinet minister recently named Sir John Hayes, one of the rebel leaders and chairman of Backbench’s Common Sense Group, as an “unofficial adviser” to Ms. Braverman.
It also came into the government’s controversy after the Home Secretary at a disastrous Tory autumn meeting said the UK should “eventually need to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)”. Even after setting fire, he admits that this was not official policy.
As one former Chief Cabinet Secretary said: I This indicates that “she is a great risk to Rishi” if the bill fails to stop small boat crossings of the Channel in its current form, and she may resign, so the ECHR has asked the UK to is assumed to remain. Braverman.
However, a senior member of parliament said:
Another Tory insider said reports that Braverman was a “puppet” for right-wing rebels could work in her favor.
“Cynics would say it’s a very good story for Suela in that the right will love her even more,” they said.
However, they suspected she would resign when Sunak appeared to be able to turn things around and win the next election.
“If she wants to be a right-wing darling, the obvious move for her is to surpass the head of the ECHR. It will be.
“At the moment, there is a good chance that Rishi will win the next election, so it will be cutting your nose off for hating your face.
“She’s laying the groundwork to be seen as an advocate for these issues.”
But they stressed that Braverman’s call for tougher measures in the Cabinet is as natural as the education secretary’s demand for more money from schools.
“There have been times when the Home Office wanted to put things in gold.
“The lawyer will tell the Home Secretary which elements can be legally challenged. So Suela said, ‘This is not a silver bullet,’ to attend a meeting to get advice.” I try to push things as far as I can.
“That tension is natural and inevitable, and it happens all the time.
“The question is how much she colluded[with opposition lawmakers]because that’s the question.
“It’s like Gillian Keegan asking for more money for schools. It’s her job, but she’s working with the education union to try and get more money for schools. That’s going to get you in trouble.” is.”
On Monday, Mr Sunak claimed Mr Braverman “did a great job” on the bill.
“The Home Secretary and I have been working very closely over the past few months since taking this job to get the legislation right.
“It’s not easy. You need something robust and effective and that’s what we have.”
“It is important that it is effective, and it is also important that it complies with international obligations.
“This is a law-abiding country and government.
“Of course it’s important.”
