Suella Braverman is speeding towards the exit marked ‘arrogant and hypocritical’

Had Suella Braverman abided by Rishi Sunak’s injunction on his first day in office to practice ‘integrity, professionalism and accountability’, she would not now be in the trouble she finds herself

To the public, Suella Braverman simply looks arrogant and hypocritical – one rule for her; another for everyone else (PA)

Suella Braverman should have resigned as home secretary as soon as the miserable facts of her speeding fine had become public knowledge.

Or rather, when it became apparent that she was secretly attempting to secure for herself a kind of “private justice”, subverting the civil service and, reportedly, misleading the media in an attempt to keep this relatively small offence away from public attention.

For someone who boasts a degree in law, trained as a barrister, is an experienced politician and was at the time a government law officer as attorney general of England and Wales, no less, it represents a jaw-dropping lack of judgement. She has demonstrated, once again, on the grounds of her sheer incompetence, that she is unsuited to high office.
