LONDON: Suella Braverman lowered her voice and leaned in to the lectern to emphasize her point: “The future could bring millions more migrants to these shores; uncontrolled and unmanageable.”
The UK home secretary’s views on immigration are well known but she was still one of the biggest draws at this week’s Conservative Party conference in Manchester. That’s in part because she’s made no secret of her ambition to lead the party. It’s also because she’s unafraid to use the type of US-style culture war rhetoric that grassroots Tory activists increasingly like to hear.
