Braverman crowned ‘Dick of the Year’ after being lured into christening small boat
Then home secretary Suella Braverman during the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph, in Whitehall, London, November 13, 2023

FORMER home secretary Suella Braverman was tricked into accepting a “Dick of the Year” award after being enticed into launching a small boat in her own constituency.  

A video released by Channel 4 on Saturday shows how pranksters invited the Tory MP to launch a boat for “Fareham Fishing,” a fake angling company, as part of the channel’s Last Leg programme. 

The Fareham MP could not resist the opportunity to christen the vessel, similar in size to those she vehemently opposed in her campaign to prevent asylum-seekers from crossing the Channel with her Illegal Migration Bill earlier this year.
