Tory MP defends Suella Braverman over article row<\/h3>\n

Suella Braverman is at the centre of speculation again over her future as Home Secretary after she penned a controversial article questioning the double standards of the police in handling protests.<\/p>\n

While MPs on the left of the Tories are agitating for the champion of the right to be sacked, her allies including Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson point out that she is only “saying what most people think”.<\/p>\n

But this latest episode is not the first time that tensions have arisen between Ms Braverman and the serving Prime Minister in her role as Home Secretary.<\/p>\n

Already, she has been sacked once by Liz Truss only to return with Rishi Sunak, now her leadership ambitions may land her in trouble again.<\/p>\n

As one former senior Downing street figure in the Truss Premiership noted, Ms Braverman has “a habit of being a loose cannon, pursuing her own agenda and leadership ambitions”.<\/p>\n

Here are seven other times she clashed with a Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

1. Calling out the plotters<\/h3>\n

During the 2022 party conference, Suella Braverman was strongly criticised for claiming that there was an attempted coup against Liz Truss.<\/p>\n

She was reacting to Michael Gove’s rebellion on ending the 45p top income tax rate for those earning \u00a3150,000 a year or more and attempts to foce Ms Truss not cut benefits.<\/p>\n

At the time, she was accused of undermining Ms Truss as Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

But now we all know that there was a coup underway led by Mr Gove, and his allies which saw the Truss Premiership end in just 49 days.<\/p>\n

2. The clash over legal immigration<\/h3>\n

The one time Ms Braverman was sacked was when she and Ms Truss had a showdown over her trying to share a briefing with her mentor Sir John Hayes and breaking the civil service code.<\/p>\n

She landed in trouble because she sent it to the wrong email address by mistake and another MP reported her.<\/p>\n

But the real row was over Ms Truss’ belief that the UK should open the doors to legal immigration to boost economic growth, not least with India where she wanted to sign a trade deal.<\/p>\n

Ms Braverman said that legal immigration needed to be brought down instead.<\/p>\n

The only debate is whether Truss sacked her or she walked.<\/p>\n

But her departure finished off the Truss Premiership.<\/p>\n
