Braverman may have broken ministerial code with ‘attack’ on civil servants

[pellinore]

The Home Secretary may have broken ministerial rules after launching a “direct attack on the impartiality” of civil servants, a union chief has told the Prime Minister.

Dave Penman, general secretary of the FDA union, has written to Rishi Sunak to raise comments said to have been made by Suella Braverman in an email to Conservative Party members following the publication of the Illegal Migration Bill.

The legislation is designed to toughen asylum rules and deter migrants from crossing the Channel in small boats.

Mr Penman said the Home Secretary had told party members on Tuesday that “an activist blob of left-wing lawyers, civil servants and the Labour Party blocked us” from previously dealing with people unlawfully coming to Britain.
