IT WAS people taking to the streets that ended Suella Braverman’s second, if mercifully brief, period as home secretary.

Her main claim to infamy was her suggestion that “rough sleeping” is a lifestyle choice, while it was whispered on the grapevine that she wanted a law that would prevent the homeless from pitching their tents on our high streets.

Indeed among her more perverse ideas was a scheme to fine charities that provide the homeless with the very tents she aimed to ban.
