Tory grandee slams Home Secretary for 'racist rhetoric and rabble rousing'

A well-respected Tory grandee has slammed the current Home Secretary for "racist rhetoric and rabble rousing". Former Conservative Party chair Baroness Sayeeda Warsi says that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak needs to "get a grip" on Suella Braverman.

Baroness Warsi also questioned whether the Home Secretary has the skills needed to do her job. The Conservative peer and former cabinet member has spoken out over Ms Braverman's hateful rhetoric.

Several high-profile figures have also written to the Mr Sunak demanding action after Ms Braverman sparked fury claiming British Pakistani men “hold cultural values at odds with British values” when talking about grooming gangs. She also came under fire after she criticised police for seizing racist golliwog dolls from a pub in Essex after complaints from the public.
