(AFP) New UK interior minister Suella Braverman is admired by the right for her attacks on “woke” politics but her legal acumen will be put to the test when tackling one of government’s toughest jobs.
Braverman, 42, was appointed attorney general a year ago, serving as the government’s principal legal adviser, having worked as a lawyer before becoming an MP in 2015.
The government is currently embroiled in a legal battle to implement its plan to send migrants illegally crossing the Channel to Rwanda.
Finding a solution to the thorny political issue, which ultimately scuppered predecessor Priti Patel, will be made her top priority.
But she faces an intense legal fight.
