“This comes when the Home Secretary launched this really appalling and unprecedented attack on the police, on both their operational independence and also on their impartiality. I’ve never seen any Home Secretary do what Suella Braverman did.

“I think he appointed her and he needs to do something about it, because otherwise all that he shows is he is weak, he doesn’t care about policing and he doesn’t care about the security of our country.”
