Popcorn at the ready, Suella Braverman's bad week could be followed by a very tough one indeed
If Suella Braverman thought her week had thrown up its fair share of challenging newspaper headlines, it could quickly get even worse - with her opponents in Westminster just days away from an opportunity to grill her in the Commons....
...In between, Ms Braverman saw her personal approval rating plunge in a YouGov poll - and critics cruelly pointed out her right-wing populism wasn't, in fact, very popular.
At the same time, the home secretary clashed with cabinet colleagues on migration policy and is also facing a likely onslaught from Tory right-wingers over new figures in a few days showing a sharp rise in immigration.
Now, on top of the confrontations she faces with opponents and some colleagues on policy issues, the embattled Braverman could soon be facing an inquiry into her conduct as a minister which could lead to her being sacked...
...She'll no doubt hope her belated mea culpa may draw a line under the row and perhaps take the sting out of calls for a full-blown probe by Sir Laurie, the ethics watchdog. Fat chance, as they say, of that.
As luck would have it - for her opponents, that is - the first business when the Commons sits again on Monday is… questions to the home secretary, Suella Braverman.
Popcorn at the ready.

Amazes me that those who are not keen on immigration from Middle Eastern countries voted in 2016 not to send them back to the first EU country they landed in.
If this is another price worth paying for Brexit then they should acknowledge they have given the government a near impossible framework to work within. On this aspect, Braverman has my sympathy.
