US Politics | We need Home Secretary Suella Braverman to sort cops, Brexit and illegals

MINISTERS in full-blown SOS mode are fighting to save Suella Braverman from anti-Tory attack dogs. Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove toured yesterday's breakfast TV shows, hailing his Cabinet ally as a "first- rate, front-rank politician". Britain needs Suella Braverman to sort out the police, Brexit and illegal immigration It was "absolutely right" to reappoint her as Home ­Secretary, he insisted, despite her resignation a fortnight ago over leaked emails and national security issues. The rescue mission was launched amid a blizzard of cyber-security claims that Mad Vlad Putin bugged Liz Truss's top-secret mobile calls to Ukraine and intimate chats with Kwasi Kwarteng. Labour spokesman Yvette Cooper pounced on the notion the Russian outrage was leaked by No10 to distract attention from Suella's own misdeeds. This war of words is important.

Nor can he risk his carefully balanced Cabinet support on Brexit, illegal immigration and law and order. The Home Office is at the heart of the battle on all three fronts.Braverman is the avowed scourge of murderous crime gangs, their people-smuggling henchmen and "woke" police who stand by while eco-loons hold our cities to ransom. Beyond the cost-of-living crisis, these are the issues that infuriate voters most.

But there is a niggle of doubt. Is Suella a serial leaker? Is she up to the job? And if not, how much political capital can the new PM afford to burn in her cause? Wiping billions Downing Street strategists fear the row is distracting attention from the genuine triumphs of Rishi's first week in office. His election as PM had the remarkable effect of instantly calming the money markets, wiping billions off Treasury borrowing costs and easing pressure on mortgages. In a significant personal tribute, Rishi is already ahead of Labour's Keir Starmer on the economy, defence and the fight against terror. Considering the shocking self-inflicted damage of recent months, this is a remarkable turn of events in a very short time. There is more to come on promises left largely untouched by Boris Johnson over the last three years. Illegal immigration tops the list. Voters see the TV images of crowded inflatables arriving on our beaches as casually as holidaymakers in the autumn sunshine. Of the 40,000 landing so far this year, most are young Albanian men with no right to asylum — apprentice gangsters bent on a life of often violent crime. Yet the only furore over their uninvited arrival concerns the quality of food and accommodation provided at a cost of billions to Britain's struggling economy. Suella promises to put them on fast-track tickets home — one reason for the Tory polling uptick. Cracking down on crime is another crowdpleaser. Suella has condemned the amount of police time wasted on so-called hate offences, sending cops to quiz social media users, or "taking the knee" with Black Lives Matter protesters. Why should taxpayers pay police to serve tea to Extinction Rebellion hooligans instead of hunting down the machete gangs rampaging through our cities? Sunak is impressed by Greater Manchester Police chief Steve Watson, who banned "woke" policing, put bobbies back on the beat in polished boots and insisted every reported crime is investigated. Policing jokes Watson told officers: "Police forces must be fully focused on fighting actual crime in people's neighbourhoods, not policing bad jokes on Twitter." In 18 months, he has turned around two "failing" forces under his command. Response times to 999 calls have been slashed by three-quarters, arrests are up almost a third and investigations resulting in a charge have risen almost by half. If Steve Watson can do it, why can't Labour London Mayor Sadiq Khan?

Save Our Suella, Rishi.
