Sophy Ridge’s textbook one-two takedown of Suella Braverman is a classic hall of famer
Suella Braverman has rapidly established a reputation and track record as home secretary that is almost enough to make you nostalgic for Priti Patel. Well, we did say almost.
We mention Braverman again because she was doing the media rounds on Sunday morning and this encounter, with Sophy Ridge over on Sky News, is one not to be missed.
It’s a classic one-two takedown and the look on Braverman’s face makes it even better.
“If an asylum seeker enters the UK illegally and admits they made a mistake, should they be allowed to come back six days later? The reason I ask is that you resigned for breaking ministerial rules then came back six days later.”

A brilliant question. I think the irony was lost on Suella. pic.twitter.com/u7Ltw3SnjZ

Brilliant question by #Ridge which Suella Braverman is too arrogant or too stupid to understand.

If being this dumb means I’ll be considered British, then you can count me out. This woman’s beliefs & intellect are a stain on our nation. Her self-awareness of the fact her party will never see her as fully British is shocking. She’s not in denial. She’s arrogant & dumb.

To conclude …
Great question!!
If we had more journalists holding her to account, how things would be so much better.
