Reduced in his duties by the new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, after her resignation in October, Suella Braverman again faces criticism while the situation of migrants only worse.

An interior minister under the fire of criticism, an asylum system that cracks everywhere: the migratory question again makes “one” in the United Kingdom, while crossing of the Channel in boats of Fortune (Small Boats) increase exponentially. Since the beginning of the year, nearly 40,000 people have already arrived in Kent, in the south-east of England, twice more than in 2021 at the same time, five times more than there is two years.
Suella Braverman, Minister of the Interior and Muse of the right of the Conservative Party ferociously antimigrants, is still fighting for his political survival. She had to resign on October 19, for having violated the ministerial code by sending documents sensitive to one of her colleagues since her private email. His departure precipitated the fall of Prime Minister Liz Truss – resigned the next day. The latter’s successor, Rishi Sunak, nevertheless considered good to reinstall M me braverman in this ultrasensible position. He has made “a disgusting agreement” with the right of the conservative party to support her designation, accuses Keir Starmer, the Labor leader.
too long waiting times
The Minister “made a mistake of judgment, but she reported it and accepted her error,” said the new tenant of Downing Street. This was not enough to remove doubts about the minister’s skills and reliability. Especially since, Monday, October 31, M me braverman admitted having used six other times since his arrival at the Home Office, in September, his private email to send working documents.
Its responsibility is also directly implicated in the deterioration of reception conditions in Manston. This former military base, in Kent, was converted into a logistics center, very temporarily hosting people who arrive in Small Boats, the time to receive their asylum requests. Scheduled to accommodate a maximum of 1,600 people, it had up to 4,000 in recent days, some of which have been deduced for four weeks.
David Neal, independent migration inspector, said he was “speechless” in front of the “really dangerous” situation noted on the spot, and the daily The Guardian reported, Sunday, October 30, only at least eight cases of diphtheria had been detected there. Roger Gale, a Kent Conservative MP, even accused M braverman of having ignored the legal recommendations and deliberately blocking the reservation of hotels allowing to get people out of Manston faster.
