For those who keep hoping Johnson may yet prove to be a liberal, this appointment shows the dangerous route Britain has embarked upon for citizens’ rights, judicial review and human rights. This is a government that wants revenge, and wants to shut down accountability.
You don’t need to take it from me. You can take it from Suella Braverman herself, in @ConHome recently.
She specifically cites the Article 50 and prorogation cases as examples of “the political [being] captured by the legal.”

Braverman, our new Attorney General, is deeply cynical about both the Human Rights Act, and - in her words -“the prolific rights-industry which it spawned”.
Brexit was just the start of this dangerous road.
Johnson isn’t about to turn back. This is a signal of dangerous intent.
