Suella Braverman has criticised Rishi Sunak and slammed his policies as “idiotic” following the Tories’ devastating General Election result.
The former Home Secretary said that her party “deserved” their historic election defeat.
Writing for the Telegraph, she said that the Tories “failed in office” and laid into Sunak suggesting he treated voters like “mugs”.
Braverman wrote: “Many saw the result coming months ago and advised a way out. We were vilified as ‘divisive’ and ‘self-indulgent’. One colleague told me to ‘STFU’ [shut the f*** up].”

She added: “Whatever some of my colleagues think, the voters aren’t mugs: they saw what we did in office and ignored what we insincerely said while campaigning.
