To think Suella Braverman would make a great new Prime Minister

As per title.

She has said she will run in the leadership contest, would be a breath of fresh air.

She's appallingly incompetent.
And has deliberately supported Boris Johnson (and his government) 's lawbreaking.
So she'd be an excellent replacement if you think Boris has done a good job.
She would be completely crap if you actually wanted a proper grown-up serious politician to do the job properly.

Suella Braverman?

I’d rather have Floella Benjamin.

Good one OP 😂😂😂

I‘m a solicitor and I instructed her a few years ago when she was a practising barrister. She was appalling, completely unprepared clueless and my client was furious. I put her on our firms Counsel list as “do not use”. I was horrified when she was made AG, and she’s done a pretty rubbish job of that. So no don’t agree.

Thank you for confirming what I suspected.

She is rumoured in Fareham to be a very underwhelming speaker.

DiamanteDelia · 07/07/2022 08:49

She’s appalling and, in terms of willingness to sanction law-breaking, is basically Boris Johnson in a skirt. She also has no experience and come across as quite dim.

RockinHorseShit · 07/07/2022 08:49

She's a Tory & she has stood by her narcissistic pillock of a boss thus far.

So that's a no from me

PaulineBrady · 07/07/2022 08:49

Is Cruella or her mum the OP? That would be just what we need, another talentless arse with a sense of entitlement who thinks it’s her turn.

balalake · 07/07/2022 08:50

OP I have to assume you pay little attention to any detail of politics and current affairs to think as you do.

As to the person who suggested Baroness Benjamin, actually she is eligible in principle but not in practice as not a Tory.

Anothernamechangeplease · 07/07/2022 08:50

Is the OP being ironic? Can't believe anyone would actually think this.Confused

I think we'll be seeing a lot of these posts today. Most started by brand new posters called NormalMumName or WorcesterValerie.

We’ll be invaded! I suppose we could run a competition on the most patronising fake user name to emerge from a SPAD’s brain.

TotalRhubarb · 07/07/2022 08:58

Do you work for her?

She’s incompetent and lacks integrity. As we’ve been suffering both in Boris for the last three years, I fail to see how she’d be a ‘breath of fresh air’.

She's the only Attorney General ever who wasn't a QC on appointment I believe, because she just wasn't at that level. She's been appallingly poor and has assisted this government to abuse the law for its own ends. I'm truly amazed to see that she genuinely thinks she has a shot at being Prime fucking Minister. Ridiculous idea.

This!!

A close friend of mine used to work in the Attorney General's office and I remember pulling faces at my friend (I might have also sent a few links from the press saying she was useless) when she got the role. My friend (being a much nicer person than me) was open to seeing what she was really like and after meeting her on her first day said she seemed really nice. My friend worked closely with her (don't want to say too much for obvious reasons) and soon realised she's a complete idiot. An ambitious idiot that ticks all the right diversity boxes but an idiot nevertheless. My friend left the AGO, as did a number of others (note that none of these people have a problem with previous AG's).

KittyEmK · 07/07/2022 09:03

Oh my god - YABU! She has demonstrated that she doesn't understand the law (attorney general?!), she certainly isn't bright and is thoroughly unlikeable! She must be towards the bottom of the pile. God she's so awful.

DragonflyNights · 07/07/2022 09:07

Awww Suella try and find some sense of reality babes.

VladmirsPoutine · 07/07/2022 09:07

No. I sometimes think even given some of the rhetoric about even say Theresa May that some people just don't care. Because having a female minority woman in power is not the wonderful progressive move you think it is. However all that aside, even if Sunak or Javid throw their hat in their ring for all their 'strong' points they're not white thus I don't think have a hope in hell. You're talking about the highest office in the land here. I don't think the general public are ready for that now if ever at all.

JocelynBurnell · 07/07/2022 09:07

Are you taking mind-altering drugs, OP?

BluOcty · 07/07/2022 09:08

Are you joking? A lawyer who advises to break international law? She is more cynical than them all.

LoveLarry · 07/07/2022 09:12

I've only ever seen her on Question Time and she was absolutely dreadful

riesenrad · 07/07/2022 09:14

Apparently Boris has finally accepted he has to resign.

But be careful what you wish for, folks. Suella would be even more awful.

Whitehorsegirl · 07/07/2022 09:18

She is a useless, integrity-free, over-promoted waste of space with no respect for the law who propped up the lying rat of a PM who is finally about to resign.

So the answer to your question is no.

B0ssAssB1tch · 07/07/2022 09:55

Are you joking?

The same one who consistently votes against equality for women and gay people?

I wouldn't be so sure this isnt a real post. Suella is very much admired by a certain contingent on Mumsnet because she spoke out against gender non conforming children being treated with respect in schools. There was a big thread about her a few weeks back with people saying things like "thank God for suella".
