SUELLA Braverman today warned that Sir Keir Starmer might run to be “Labour’s first female prime minister” at the next general election.
Addressing the National Conservatism conference in Westminster, the Home Secretary hit out at Sir Keir for suggesting thousands of women CAN have a penis.
Suella Braverman today warned Brits that Sir Keir Starmer might run to be Labour’s “first female Prime Minister” at the next general election
The Home Secretary delivered an eyebrow raising speech at the three-day National Conservatism conference in Westminster
She cautioned hundreds of traditional Tories that “given Sir Keir’s definition of a woman, we can’t rule him out from running to be Labour’s first female Prime Minister.”
Ms Braverman is one of several Tory heavyweights to address NatCon London, a three day event at the QEII.
The conference largely attracts Brits with socially Conservative views, and campaigns on the importance of free speech, patriotism, faith and family.
In a no-holds-barred speech, the Home Secretary set out her vision of Conservatism.
She focussed on culture wars, immigration and pride in country.
Ms Braverman slammed identity politics as a dangerous and divisive ideology, perpetuated by “self appointed gurus and elites”.
“Its goal is the infinite division of society and the perpetual pitting of groups against one another,” the Home Secretary Braverman said.
“In that sense, its fundamental aim is not equality, but political power.”
Ms Braverman blasted MPs who criticised her commentary on the background of paedophiles.
“The ethnicity of grooming gang perpetrators is the sort of fact that has become unfashionable in some quarters, much like the fact that 100 per cent of women do not have a penis,” she said.
“It is absurd that we find ourselves in a situation where this a remotely controversial statement.”
The Home Secretary added that white people shouldn’t feel guilty for “things that happened before they were born”.
And she warned that “unexamined drive” towards multiculturalism, combined with identity politics, is “a recipe for communal disaster”.
Ms Braverman blasted “myopic” diversity schemes that measure people on the basis of their skin colour, sex and sexuality.
“Identity politics is the politics of grievance and division – it is illiberal and incompatible with social cohesion,” she said.
On the topic of migration, the Home Secretary said people who settle in Britain must integrate.
She added that ministers must have the confidence to “promote our culture, defend our values, and venerate our past”.
Ms Braverman insisted that tackling the unsustainable number of migrants should not be seen as racist.
Upcoming figures suggest net migration hit 700,000 — well up on the 504,000 in the year to June 2022.
Britain is also spending £5.5million a day on hotels for asylum-seekers.
“It’s not xenophobic to say mass and rapid migration is unsustainable in terms of housing supply, service and community relations,” Ms Braverman said.
“Nor is it bigoted to say too many people come here illegally and claim asylum, and we have insufficient accommodation for them.”
