Home Secretary accused of ‘putting lives at risk’ to extend political career
Emily Price
Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader, Jane Dodds has accused the Home Secretary of “putting lives at risk” in order to “extend her political career”.
In a speech she made at the Conservative conference speech in Manchester on Tuesday (October 3), Suella Braverman warned that a “hurricane” of mass migration is coming.
Mrs Braverman, whose parents came to the UK from Kenya and Mauritius in the 1960s, said “unprecedented” mass migration was “one of the most powerful forces reshaping our world”.
“The wind of change that carried my own parents across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust compared to the hurricane that is coming,” she said.
“Because today, the option of moving from a poorer country to a richer one is not just a dream for billions of people. It’s an entirely realistic prospect.”
Mrs Braverman said the future “could bring millions more migrants to these shores, uncontrolled and unmanageable, unless the government they elect next year acts decisively to stop that happening”.
Talking about “illegal immigration”, she said: “Our country has become enmeshed in a dense net of international rules that were designed for another era. And it is Labour that turbocharged their impact by passing the misnamed Human Rights Act. I’m surprised they didn’t call it the ‘Criminal Rights Act’.”
Blunt
Responding to comments made by the Home Secretary Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Jane Dodds MS said: “The Home Secretary doesn’t have a long list of critics because she tells the ‘blunt, unvarnished truth’.
“The Home Secretary has a long list of critics because time after time after time she’s willing to risk the lives and the safety of some of the most vulnerable people in the world in the hope of extending her political career.
“Suella Braverman and the Conservatives’ hate-driven untruths is an attempt to drive a wedge in British society, turning people against each other, demonising people who come to Britain in search of safety and a place to call home where they can rebuild their lives.
“Every time Suella Braverman intervenes, she causes untold harm to our country’s standing on the world stage, and to the people who have come to Britain and contributed and enriched our country.
“The sad truth is that the Home Secretary is more interested in stoking fears and riling Conservative members rather than real solutions to creating a fair system. She is misleading voters, and failing Britain.
“Unfortunately it appears that principled people like Andrew Boff are in short supply in the Conservative party.”

That was awful but not a surprise if you think about it. Labour have done the same in the past but this was a mutter. They had prepped the security staff to zero tolerance, anything other that out right praise is verboten. That is what people need to see in this.
She is a vile women and her hate speeches are no different from Enoch Powell but i cannot get my head around the Daughter of immigrants can put these hate speeches out
Its the money. The richer folk get the more likely they are to become right wing and she is bright enough to know that she can make a very well paid career out of being a politician of the lunatic wing of the far right.
Braverman is no better in her pursuit of power than Hitler in the 1930’s.

With Tories ruthless enough to sell out their principles and their own families for a whiff of power, you don’t think that any Tory is going to worry about anyone else – including you – who gets in the way of their power grab.
Just wait until they withdraw from the ECHR – and then you are all going to be royally screwed with no recourse to any help whatsoever
