    Seems depressingly inevitable that Suella "cultural Marxism" Braverman will be made a minister today, fresh off the back of attacking @DavidLammy for "shrill virtue-signalling". The parliamentary voice of Breitbart heading into government.

        Add to that, in Oliver Dowden, a Culture Secretary with no discernible interest in culture, and whose views on the BBC and its funding appear to be a complete blank slate. I know cabinets often include pliable nonentities, but DCMS has *huge* issues in front of it.

        Her defence to using the trope is worth reading. Something like: people are too easily offended and it’s a free speech issue?https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/board-of-deputies-rebuke-conservative-mp-suella-braverman-for-using-antisemitic-trope-1.482150 …

        No, she's not a QC. Ironically I think one of her specialties as a barrister was judicial review, which will now be in her crosshairs.
