Suella Braverman at the Tory conference
Braverman, who is the current Home Secretary, made an awaited appearance at the Tory conference on 3 October. Part of her agenda was of course to give a speech.
In said speech to Tory supporters, Braverman claimed that a ‘hurricane’ of ‘mass immigration’ was coming. In the same speech she called for the Human Rights Act which ‘sets out the fundamental rights and freedoms that everyone in the UK is entitled to’ should be renamed the ‘Criminal Rights Act’.

While she spoke, an attendee was escorted out after hackling the Home Secretary calling her out on her transphobic comments. Comments that she then continued when talking to Sky News.

At the conference, Braverman also took the chance to talk to other people present. During her visit of the different charities and associations present Suella Braverman visited the The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association stand.
Unfortunately for Braverman that visit outshone the rest of her stay at the conference as she proceeded to step on the tail of a guide dog. Actually, she didn’t just step on the tail, she stood on it while in conversation.
