Under-fire Home Secretary Suella Braverman has given a statement to the House of Commons about the asylum situation in Kent.
Braverman today said she was “sorry for the errors of judgment” made in the use of her personal email to send a draft government statement to an ally, as she faced further questions over her conduct. In a letter to the Home Affairs Select Committee, she revealed a Home Office review had found she forwarded official documents to her personal email on six occasions.
She is facing questions from MPs about the “car crash” decisions at a migrant processing centre in Kent, near to Dover where a refugee site was firebombed on Sunday. Rishi Sunak is under pressure over his decision to reappoint Braverman as Home Secretary just days after she had been forced to quit for breaching the ministerial code.
