Home Secretary Suella Braverman leaving BBC Broadcasting House in London

SUELLA BRAVERMAN was accused of “borrowing from fascists and Nazis” today by singling out Pakistani men as being responsible for grooming girls for sexual abuse in Britain.

The Home Secretary has caused outrage after yet more inflammatory language when addressing the government's crackdown on grooming gangs.
