Suella Braverman hints at leadership ambitions with unusually personal pitch to Tory right
Sky News says Given Suella Braverman is a senior government minister, her speech at the National Conservatism conference was heavy on the Suella stuff and light on the government stuff.
After being interrupted by two protesters (“write a letter” came the shout from the crowd), the home secretary opened with a lengthy explanation of her own backstory and how her family initially came to the UK.
“55 years ago, on a cold February morning in 1968, an Asian man, not yet 21, stepped off a plane at London Heathrow. There was no family to meet him, nor any friends. He had nothing to his name,” the home secretary said.
