Weak Rishi Sunak has not sacked Suella Braverman for inciting the Far Right because he’s a pathetic coward. He is that, for sure. Mussels have more backbone than this Conservative invertebrate.

The craven Prime Minister is a hostage to the Tory hooligan after doing a dirty deal with her to get the top job, even without the vote of his MPs, when he made her Home Secretary a week after she was sacked for security breaches.

But that is not the real reason she remains in high office, after criminally undermining the police and inflaming Far Right thugs who rampaged around the Cenotaph on Armistice Day.

It is because Sunak broadly agrees with her reactionary views. Yes, the PM’s language is usually calmer and he isn’t as wild as his Cabinet Trump in skirt.

But Sunak shares much of Braverman’s Right-wing reactionary social conservatism and tortured worldview. He too wanted the lawful pro-Palestinian march banned, criticising the Met Police before tip-toeing backwards while she jumped in recklessly with a pair of hobnail boots.

The PM, like the Home Secretary, deliberately created confusion in public minds and fanned the outrage of Far Right boot boys by reacting as if the march might go near the Cenotaph when it was never going to.

Equally, the contemptible duo equated Armistice Day on Saturday with Remembrance Sunday, a blurring never previously executed.

Sunak’s carefully cultivated nice guy image is false. It is a smokescreen to mask the cynical, calculating, manipulative Tory desperado he really is.

Watching a TV debate at the last election I was struck at how Sunak, a glib Treasury Minister in 2019, twisted the truth to make false points.

He hasn’t changed and Braverman isn’t the real problem. It is the PM who appointed a soulmate and will defend her right up to the moment he thinks she’s too hot to handle and must be sacrificed to save himself.
