I don’t care about Suella Braverman’s driving, but I do care about her politics

Getting upset about the Home Secretary’s speed awareness course is missing the point, says Jonty Langley. Christians should be more concerned about unjust systems and the policies that create them
The Guardian-memorising, tofu-guzzling wokerati have really done it this time. Suella Braverman is close to being forced out of a job, just because of her right-wing views. And, of course, for using her position to try to avoid the consequences of her own actions.
Our Home Secretary apparently attempted to get special treatment after being caught speeding, and now it looks like her head is on the chopping block. The Right blame the speed awareness course furore on the ‘woke blob’ attacking on principle. The Left (which could better be described as ‘what’s left’) think it’s important.
