00:00 Suella Braverman should never have been appointed as Home Secretary in the first place.
00:04 The last time she was sacked as Home Secretary was for a national security breach.
00:09 That was just five days before Rishi Sunak appointed her out of weakness,
00:15 because Suella Braverman is the beating heart of the Conservative Party.
00:19 Rishi Sunak doesn't have the support of the Conservative Party,
00:22 and that's why he was not only weak in appointing her,
00:25 but weak in the delay in sacking her.
00:28 And I'm afraid what we need now isn't just a change of faces around the Cabinet table,
00:33 the never-ending merry-go-round of this Conservative clown show.
00:36 It's a general election so that the country can decide
00:40 whether they want to continue with more of the same of the Conservatives,
00:43 or whether they want to give Britain the fresh start it needs with the Labour government.
00:46 There is no doubt that as Home Secretary, Suella Braverman undermined the police,
00:51 attacking them in a totally unacceptable way,
00:54 but also poured petrol on the flames of a very sensitive challenge
00:59 around policing of Remembrance weekend.
01:03 That's just one of many reasons why she should have been sacked.
