Suella Braverman gives personal statement to Commons<\/h3>\n

Suella Braverman’s moment in the Commons today was drawing comparisons with another historic intervention which brought down Britain’s greatest Prime Minister since the Second World War.<\/p>\n

Margaret Thatcher was infamously brought down when Sir Geoffrey Howe, her former Deputy Prime Minister, resigned over a profound disagreement on the EU and gave a personal statement to the House of Commons.<\/p>\n

At the time the late Labour heavyweight Denis Healey quipped that it was like “being savaged by a dead sheep” and it mortally wounded Mrs Thatcher who would soon after be ousted by her MPs.<\/p>\n

Like Sir Geoffrey with the Iron Lady, Ms Braverman today has in effect served notice to Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n

Unlike Sir Geoffrey though she gave the Prime Minister a way to hold on to his office.<\/p>\n

The key part of her statement inevitably came at the end like the tip of a scorpion’s tail plunging down on its victim.<\/p>\n

“I refuse to sit by and allow the trust that millions of people have put in us to be discarded like an inconvenient detail,” she said.<\/p>\n

Mr Sunak was not one of the MPs on the packed Tory benches, but it was a clear message to the Prime Minister that she intends to be front and centre on any effort to remove him.<\/p>\n

Crucially, though, she offered an olive branch.<\/p>\n

She said: “If we summon the political courage to do what is truly necessary, and to fight for the interests of the British people, then I am confident that we will regain their support. And, if the Prime Minister leads that fight, he will have my total support.”<\/p>\n
