Suella Braverman says no time to oust Sunak so he must ‘own this and fix it’

According to Suella Braverman, the Conservative party has run out of time to remove Rishi Sunak from his position. However, she believes that he needs to take responsibility and find a solution to the current situation, as the recent local election results suggest that the Labour party may come to power in the UK.

The ex-home secretary expressed that the strategy of Sunak is not effective, and the leader of the government has to take a different path. If he doesn't, there's a chance that they will lose all Conservative MPs in the upcoming election.

After the Conservatives suffered the loss of 400 council seats in the local elections, along with Andy Street as the West Midlands mayor, and 10 police and crime commissioners, Braverman gave her perspective on the matter.

Street is urging the Conservative party to shift towards the middle in order to tackle the issues voters are worried about. Meanwhile, some have cautioned that the party is encountering a greater obstacle from the left side of the political spectrum rather than the right.

The ex-mayor of West Midlands stated that people should learn from Birmingham and the West Midlands' way of moderate, inclusive, and tolerant conservatism that works hard to achieve its goals. This approach almost defeated the Labour party in their own area, which is a significant message to take away from here tonight.

Sunak finds himself in a tricky situation as the Reform UK party is drawing support from the Conservatives on the right. In fact, they came incredibly close to matching the Tories' number of votes in the recent Blackpool South byelection, falling just 150 votes short.

According to Braverman, people who support the Tory party are refraining from voting because they believe that Sunak is not conservative in his policies such as forbidding smoking and making pedicabs illegal. Braverman suggested focusing on tackling issues related to the European court of human rights, enforcing a limit on legal migration, and reducing taxes instead.

Braverman, who lost his job from Sunak in the previous year, spoke to BBC One's Sunday talk show with Laura Kuenssberg. He stated: "I am urging the Prime Minister to reconsider his decisions. He must listen to the feedback from voters and adjust both his strategy and communication style."

When asked why he shouldn't be ousted due to the current state of affairs, she replied by saying it's not a practical solution as there isn't enough time and introducing someone new won't magically solve the problem. Rishi Sunak has been in charge for the past 18 months, and the current outcomes reflect his choices. He needs to take responsibility and rectify the situation since there is no hero that can save the day.

When asked if she had conspired against Sunak, Braverman avoided a direct response and instead stated that a lot of her coworkers were feeling disheartened in private.

She went on a rant about Starmer, declaring it was shameful that we are falling behind Labour led by Keir Starmer who lacks any charm, is supervising a group of hard-left fanatics, wishes to reverse Brexit, desires to open our borders, and intends to inject political correctness into our institutions and our schools.

On Sunday, Starmer urged Sunak to hold an election. In his written piece for the Observer, the Labour leader pointed out that it's unacceptable for any political party to leave the country worse off after their time in power. Therefore, he believes that Sunak should prioritize the country's interests and call for an election. It's an important move for the sake of the nation.

The Labour party is ready and eager to put their plan into action for a decade of improving the nation. The recent elections revealed that more individuals are supporting their mission to bring about change to the country.

Labour increased their number of seats by approximately 180, totaling them to over 1,100, while the Lib Dems earned 100 more seats, reaching a total of roughly 520 council members. The Conservatives, on the other hand, lost approximately 470 seats, causing their overall number of council members to drop down to about 513. Based on the results that have been tallied, the Lib Dems performed better than the Conservative party. Furthermore, Labour proved successful in winning the mayoralties of the East Midlands, North East, and York and North Yorkshire, which interestingly enough covers Sunak's same constituency.

In plain English, Pat McFadden, who oversees Labour's elections, said that there were some really positive outcomes overall, but they lost some councillors in certain places due to their stance on Gaza. He recognized that the country is in a state of transformation and they need to adapt to it.
