Another week of Tory wars looms in SW1. Ministers are desperately trying to find a fix to the Supreme Court’s legal kiboshing of the Rwanda scheme. But one person they certainly can’t rely on for any favours is Suella Braverman, the recently-axed Home Secretary. On Tuesday, she published a stinging three-page assessment of Rishi Sunak’s premiership; on Thursday, she drafted her own ‘five-point plan’ to fix Rwanda. And today she has done a big-two page interview in the Mail on Sunday in which she accuses the PM of a lack of ‘moral leadership’. Ouch.
But one detail that jumped out to Mr S in the Mail interview was about something Braverman did not do last week. In her letter on Monday to Sunak, she suggested that he had actually signed up to a series of written pledges in return for her lending her support to him in last year’s Tory leadership contest.
