Suella Braverman has been accused of using “racist rhetoric” by a Conservative former co-chairwoman of the party.
Baroness Sayeeda Warsi hit out at a number of remarks the Home Secretary has made, and said it has “it has got to stop”. The Tory peer did not specify which specific remarks she was referring to as racist, but highlighted Braverman’s comments on small boats crossing the Channel, and her singling out British Pakistani men over concerns about grooming gangs.
It follows letters sent to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calling for him to act on Braverman’s rhetoric, including from the British Pakistan Foundation, which accused the Home Secretary of seeking to portray all British Pakistani men in a “divisive and dangerous way”.
