Suella Braverman squirms under basic questioning over her archaic migrant deportation system 

Love the fact that the chair is briefing the ‘Home Secretary’ on crime and criminality.

Not answering questions in parliament should be a crime and MPs should be imprisoned for not doing so

If I didn't know this much about my own job I'd be so mortified I'd resign. Still, no reason to hold the government to the same standards as the rest of us.

I have no words! Why are we paying this woman for being the Home Secretary.

Suella Braverman should resign straight away. Very poor performance. Waste of public money. Shame👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Unprofessional and embarrassing. Can’t we do better than this?! Despicable woman

She is clueless, cruel, sinister and vile. What a waste of a human being, she brings only despair into the lives of the most vulnerable.

Even when Cruella tries to pretend to be human briefly it is creepy and unconvincing.

She has done a great job in scrutinising suella! Keep it up!

That lady doing the questioning is absolutely brilliant.

Imagine creating new legislation based on hearsay & made up evidence. Absolutely disgusting.

Irrespective of party, the inability to answer a straight question and getting away with it is far far too prevalent in politics today. Is it surprising therefore that this sort of performance is seen?

Being able to speak the words "deportation to Rwanda" whilst keeping a straight face... without an involuntary urge to throw up and the insanity of it... is telling...

Brilliant questions from Diana Johnson certainly done her research. As for Brraverman horrendous.

Completely out of touch and out of her depth. A truly deplorable individual

Braverman is one of the best at listening to a question ignoring it and answering her own. 'I hear what you are saying, WHAT I WILL SAY is....

Braverman couldn't be more detestable if she tried. Who is she trying to impress?

Despite Braverman’s dirty politics, I’m so proud of my fellow Londoners for going ahead with the peace march❤️On one hand there’s these brave, considerate citizens raising their voices against injustice,and on the other hand there’s people like Suella Braverman trying to stop them by creating rifts and divisions here in the UK. The main aim of politicians is to divide and rule, and Suella has just proved that! There’s already so much unrest in the world, and she’s adding further fuel to the fire. If you wish bad for others, eventually bad will happen to you. Her bad intentions have backfired on her, and she totally deserves it !

To know that she was once the attorney general is even more scary...what has this country turned into

It seems to me that like many Tory ministers, Braverman's obnoxious behaviour is an attempt to cover up her obviously complete incompetence. I didn't think they could fins anyo ne worse than Patel, but they did.

Love how when she gets a tricky question she starts flicking through her papers as if the answer in there somewhere because they've researched everything but then never looks at the papers. Hilarious.

Big up for Diana Johnson MP for highlighting the individual crimes these laws create.

That lady with the glasses is awesome and should be in that bravermans postion....as per usual we never get a straight answer from any politician.

That's what you call "Winging it". This now seems the norm for any Tory minister who just refuses to answer questions in committee or the HoC

She doesn't care. She gets paid either way. She comes across like a sub teacher. Just spinning wheels for a paycheck.

Suella Braverman is probably the most inept home secretary this country has had the misfortune to have.

Would you believe for a minute Braverman saying “my heart goes out to family and friends” This woman has no heart or soul. A despicable human being

Unbelievable! This is her job - how dare she NOT know - or pretend not to know - about such online practises, and still expect to get her salary for doing - nothing!! Shamelessly admitting that she doesn't know her job. Despicable woman. Diana Johnson is magnificent - and I've been a Tory all my life. But never again.

The worse thing is, she knows exactly what shes doing when she spouts this nonsense, but still carries on with it. What a vile and nasty woman.

The chairperson must absolutely struggle to keep her cool with this woman . She is a horror 🎉

I wonder if people in the UK realize how disgustingly dysfunctional their government appears to the rest of the world. This exchange was truly cringeworthy. I pity people who must live under such a grotesque regime. I hope and pray their condition improves soon.

Bloody hell! Cruella Braverman is an intelligent woman, allegedly, and yet she is totally incapable of answering the simplest of simple questions.

Braverman has no idea what's going on, completely clueless. Will your legislation do this or that? Dunno, never thought of that, we haven't thought it through at all.

Clearly she is not aware of whats going and nervously turning pages, while she thinks of how to evade the question.

So: "We are doing things" and "Bad things are really bad" "We should raise awareness so bad things don't happen" "Bad things are unacceptable" None of us can argue with that. Thank goodness we have such brilliant people leading the country right now.

Why can't she just give an simple answer? "I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that particular website. I will look into this with some urgency". She clearly has no idea of what her role is or what home security is all about.

Braverman is a national disgrace. One of many.

What a bumbling, incompetent performance!

How can these people not answer questions asked of them , they all seem to be avoiding the question should this not be a charge of misguided truth and be in court and to jail

The reason Braverman won't allow the chair to interrupt her is that her answers are rehearsed. If she has to stop mid-spiel she'll have to rewind to the start of the answer in her head.

"I'd rather just have the bill passed first, and tell you about the costs later."

I'm going abroad in September, and I'll have to admit to being British. The shame I will feel.

Just imagine how different Braverman's replies would be had it been made to swear under oath that the evidence she gave was the truth.

Forensic examination. Excellent. Fudge, bluster, squirm, repeat. What a government.

She is totally out of her depth .

Unbelievable. The scariest part of this omnishambles, is the fact she will leave the committee thinking she done really well and answered all the questions convincingly.😄😄

2 reasons why politicians don't answer the question... either hiding the truth or there clueless... how long do we have to put up with this woman.

"everyone is gaming the system" how do you know? "well we are doing it all the time so everyone else must be too"

That wicked smirk of hers can frightened any child .

A deeply unintelligent, unempathic and wilfully ignorant woman. But epic word salad, I was waiting for her tangent on Pippa Pig. 🔥😈🔥

Disgusting how Tories can get away with openly dodging questions and presenting their misinterpretation of data. Why is there no provision to punish MPs lying or dogdging question in an inquiry. Braverman wasted everyones time by dancing around three simple questions, and she should return all the money and priviliges for that time span she wasted. At least that way she wouldn't be rewarded for her behavior.

Someone should exclude this woman from making rules. Maybe more. It’s time let’s end this in the next “election”

I don't think she is capable of even running a corner shop let alone The Home Office...!!!!

THIRTEEN MINUTES IN and she STILL hasn't answered a fairly simple question... I swear, this woman must even SWEAT barbed needles!!

Suella Braverman says "Er...." every sentence, she is so out of her depth it's an embarrassment that she has been elevated into such a position, a damming insight into our government, roll on an election! the sooner the better

She really is hopeless 🤦‍♂️

Appalling!!!! How have we, the UK, ended up with an ineffectual Home Secretary????. Just the tip of the effing iceberg??

Would seem to show a Minister who does not talk to her Senior Civil Servants. Good to see a Conservative Minister on top of her brief!

The dogs in the street know that a simple google search will deliver any number of websites advertising prostitutes. Braverman just completely ignores the question ! She could say "You are correct. It's a disgrace. We'll ban these websites. When ? In the next 12 months". To say "It's my first time coming across this website". *What a clown !*

When you're asked a simple yes/no question and you go on and on reiterating your goals and commitments and what you want to do and insisting that it's a 'complicated issue'. I don't know how anybody takes their job seriously when they have to deal with Suella Braverman.

She is so incompetent

A perfect example of someone promoted beyond her abilities. 😥

“I don’t know any figures, but I can assure you I’m looking right at it as we speak” I don’t know what’s more hilarious…the fact that she’s trying to blend in with the chairs or the fact that she hired Batman to protect her from behind!

SHE comes over as being completely hopeless in her brief

Great questioning - she is totally tied up in knots

Ah er ah er ah er....that counts as an answer with this government.

"We've got a good track record" is the funniest thing I've heard all week! Braverman is a disgrace. I've never heard her admit anything is wrong. It's all confusion, spin & misdirection. Any other business trying to claim 'the backlog has decreased' by creating a cut off point & ignoring the huge increase of cases since that point is ludicrous 😂 Tories broke the system. The process isn't quick enough to deal with demand, but they have failed for years to improve the process - like not knowing how many case workers they have - mainly so they can point to the situation & call it a crisis that needs more stringent border controls. So obvious.

I wonder what the women in her inner circle think of her and her no acknowledgement of such extremely disturbing situations.

Our chin-less wonder loves the sound of her own voice, speaking at length and saying nothing whatsoever. How is she allowed to get away with it?

For suella comments yesterday giving thoughts to us in Nottingham is sicking because I know she really doesn't care and carry on as normal she needs to be deported to Rwanda herself

Once again when a Conservative Minister facing a Home Affairs Select Committee and confronted with the facts about their department they al ways fall back on the excuse "This is news to me" Please can you tell me what these Ministers actually do??

'That's the first time I've heard of it.' What the hell is the Home Office doing

"We take our commitment to modern slavery very seriously" Yep, pretty sure nurses can confirm that's the one true thing shes ever said

This woman is useless. Lock her up!

if anyone belongs on a Rwanda flight its Braverman accompanied by Patel with Nadine Dorres carrying the luggage .

She shows utter contempt for the proceedings and ghas an assured confidence that she WILL NOT be held accountable and guess what, she's right.

Cruella Braverman big on rhetoric small on action

Why does she NOT answer the question . Suella , does NOT know the answer !!

questioning politician: talks about an investigation into sex trafficking and illegal prostitution cruella: can I just say we offer our deepest sympathies to the grenfell tower victims like what in the fuck does the grenfell tower incident have to do with this investigation into sex trafficking and illegal migration?

Just remember, this is our Home Secretary. Still doesn't seem real.

She may as well have said "we are working closely with law enforcement to do absolutely NOTHING"

The concept of the totalitarian tiptoe is at play here - slowly make politics go massively right & then back again a couple of notches which causes the new liberated time to still be a notch or two further right that where we originally were to the point where fascism is seen as moderate and - voila - Suella Braverman!

"I have never heard of Viva Street..."... "Your officials have met with Viva Street 15 times"... She could at least get better at pretending to be unaware of things. She isn't ignorant, she is callous and a detestable human being.

Wouldn't be surprised to find loads of Tories are investors

She starts her answers with, "I believe", and/or, "it may". You would think at this stage she would answer the questions with a yes or no. All she does is answer the questions in a "word salad" manner. It seems like she just used chatGPT, and didn't even thoroughly go through the bill to address these issues that r being brought up. She is definitely not qualified for this job. It's like me claiming to b a doctor by watching a few episodes of "House".

Her incompetence is very hard to believe until you see it in action. These people are nothing more than mouthpieces,everyone of them is totally unfit for purpose. Typical modern day ,good at talking but useless at taking any action. However these people seem to get the top jobs. Surely is the best we can do.

How about, "No. We don't prosecute sex trafficking victims."

I find it genuinely incredible that someone like Suella Braverman can say, with confidence and without actual evidence short of anecdote, that they believe the number of cases of sex trafficking increasing must mean those cases are bogus because "there are so many now 😯" and they take more resources to resolve, whilst at the same time obsessively pursuing the detention and removal of trafficked individuals on the basis that "most of them are men on boats". And she has the gall to say all this when evidence is put forth that her party just tacitly ignore obvious and serial sex traffickers, in her own county no less. Like honestly, she doesn't actually rationalise anything, I begs to question whether she thinks at all or just answers with the usual word-salad without a single new reflection. How does she still hold her office? Edit: that part where the trafficking her party apparently endorsed was revealed to her, and she shifts her use of language from "sex trafficking" to "adult work" or whatever, that made my skin crawl. What a grifter.

On the first question considering, how can she be unaware of a prostitution website given her staff and the select committee were aware of it's existence. Did nobody think to brief her? Unbelievable incompetence

Politspeak seems to be all the rage now among career politicians, with nary a straight answer to a simple question. It's like they are in full practice mode for the "Yes, NO" game, where you lose if you use either of those two words. The Plains Indians of America had a phrase for it..... "Speaks with forked tongue", and that is exactly what the politicians do. Our only defence against this sort of behaviour from MP's is the BALLOT BOX and we should learn to use that more effectively to weed out and silence the untouchable crap. Suella needs to go, that's as plain as the nose on your face, and the further away from our shores, the better. It turns my stomach everytime I hear her WAFFLING ON.

How is her incompetence and lack of basic humanity a surprise to anyone? It has been on full display for a very long time and was on show when she was the AG. She is a trained, qualified lawyer and do not know how she ever made a living at that either.

‘We take very seriously our commitments…blah blah blah.’ 😡 How many times have we heard this?

She's just can't stop lying,Needs jail time !!

Her lack of awareness over her own policies is beyond belief. Disgraceful

All Cruella is focused on is small boats and Rowanda. She has no grasp of the real responsibilities of her office, and cares even less about any human suffering.

A Peppa pig moment there, her shuffling her notes, 🤣

Within a few minutes she says I'm not going to answer any questions in any way. Like a true politician, she'll give you an answer to a question you never asked. And bluff and bluster her way out of any situation.

Braverman said a few weeks ago that she thought the nomes for Migrants in Rwanda. I suggest that Braverman stays there as she likes them so much, and would be welcomed by so many people.

Before answering any Question Suella Braverman Goes off on a Tangent as usual Dont answer Questions Just Bullshit

The lack of preparation is breathtaking.
