The Home Secretary made two mistakes when she got a speeding penalty notice last summer – asking a gossipy civil servant if she could get a private speed course, rather than googling it herself, and swerving a meeting with the great unwashed by taking the points.
Sitting through a public speed awareness course may have made Suella Braverman a more thoughtful politician as well as a safer driver. And it may have slowed her trip down Entitlement Avenue towards political oblivion.
Because unless the Tory now dubbed Speedy Sue takes a different route soon, this most arrogant and self-righteous of ministers is heading for a very nasty crash.
