DAME Priti Patel today accused Suella Braverman of seeking \u201cattention\u201d by making a hardline speech on immigration.<\/p>\n
The former Home Secretary fired a broadside at her successor – warning that tough rhetoric is \u201cno substitute for delivery\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ms Braverman raised eyebrows earlier this week by using a Washington address to rail against \u201cfailed\u201d multiculturalism.<\/p>\n
She also warned that uncontrolled immigration posed an \u201cexistential threat\u201d to the Western world.<\/p>\n
But in a shock slapdown at Tory conference, Dame Priti let rip: \u201c To me this is very much making interventions, making speeches.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we have to be realistic, this is no substitute for delivery around changes to policy in government.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what the intention was behind that, it might just be to get attention, to have the dividing lines as we go into the run-up to a general election.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to Sky\u2019s Trevor Phillips, Dame Priti also challenged Ms Braverman\u2019s claims that integration has not worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Tory MP – of Ugandan-Indian origin – hit back: \u201cYou and I are sitting here today, we are the products of actual integration, multiculturalism, dynamic communities, people who love our country, want to contribute to our country, along with a hell of a lot of other people that have done exactly the same. I think that is something we should be proud of in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Rishi Sunak has made stopping the boats a key pledge and is expected to ramp up plans to curb immigration ahead of next year\u2019s election.<\/p>\n However Ms Braverman\u2019s comments have been widely interpreted as firing the starting gun on an unofficial leadership bid should the Tories lose power.<\/p>\n A poll showed voters backed the core elements of the Home Secretary's speech – with 66 per cent agreeing about the dangers of uncontrolled immigration.<\/p>\n And 69 per cent agree the rise in illegal migration has lumped an unfair burden on taxpayers, according to a JL Partners survey.<\/p>\n Last night allies of Mr Sunak were caught off guard by a blistering attack on \u201cpampered\u201d celebs like Elton John criticising her immigration policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n She lashed out at showbiz luvvies carping from the luxury of their megayachts.<\/p>\n<\/picture>TAXING TIMES<\/span><\/p>\n
