Former Home Secretary accuses successor of seeking attention
DAME Priti Patel has criticized Suella Braverman for her hardline speech on immigration, accusing her of seeking attention instead of focusing on policy delivery. Ms. Braverman had made controversial comments about multiculturalism and the dangers of uncontrolled immigration.
Warning against tough rhetoric
Dame Priti Patel emphasized that tough rhetoric is not enough and urged the necessity of policy changes to effectively address immigration issues. She suggested that Ms. Braverman's speech may have been an attempt to gain attention ahead of a general election.
Backing integration and multiculturalism
In response to Ms. Braverman's claims that integration has not worked, Dame Priti Patel challenged her views. She highlighted the success of integration and multiculturalism, stating that she and interviewer Trevor Phillips are both products of dynamic communities that love their country and contribute to it.
Ramping up plans to curb immigration
Home Secretary Rishi Sunak has made curbing immigration a key pledge and is expected to strengthen his plans ahead of the upcoming election. While there is support for the core elements of Ms. Braverman's speech among voters, her comments have been seen as a potential unofficial bid for leadership if the Tories lose power.
Public support for tougher immigration measures
A recent survey conducted by JL Partners showed that a majority of voters, 66%, agree with the concerns raised about uncontrolled immigration. Additionally, 69% believe that the increase in illegal migration has put an unfair burden on taxpayers.
Blistering attack on celebrity critics
Ms. Braverman faced criticism from allies of Rishi Sunak following her comments regarding celebrity critics of immigration policies. She referred to them as "pampered" and called out their critiques from the luxury of their megayachts.
