@GuidoFawkes 1. Why was the Minister of State for the Home Office, a department responsible for national security, not herself aware of the #cybersecurity risks which attend e-mails.
2. Why was #Braverman not #briefed accordingly upon taking up the role? Or if she was, why take the risk?

3. Why would she even think asking someone to delete an email was sensible? Any business person would know that:
a) they are virtually impossible to retrieve ad hoc: &
b) this violates the electronic record.

4. Why did #Braverman decide to bypass Government systems & protocols? Why didn't she have her Government devices on her at ALL times? A slip of the finger and use of wrong account is understandable, but these basic errors are not!
5. As a qualified legal professional, and with prior experience of Cabinet, how on earth did #Braverman think asking #Perry to delete her email was ever going to fly?
6. Despite her role #SoS at #HO, was she not aware of the hacking of #Truss' phone?

7. Why were key documents or #briefings only distributed within a few minutes of the start of key meetings or in one instance, afterwards? This slack competency which means no one has time to proper assimilate their content, is a malaise that plagues all our public services btw.
There can be NO excuse for the other 6 breaches detailed in item 29 in #Braverman's letter. This is simply slack practice - Government devices & systems should have been with her at all times.
Even worse is the pathetic excuse details in item 30, that #Braverman was unable to attend a virtual meeting and refer to her documentation at the same time.
Anyone using virtual meeting technologies knows this is basic functionality that comes with.
Her excuse is simply risible.

#Braverman states in item 33 that no one else had access to her email account. The height of technological naivety. Just because only she had an account logon doesn't make it secure or secret, even if it was Gmail and encrypted end to end.
Conclusion: #Braverman's argument hinges on lack of available technology. Was it really beyond the public purse and nous to furnish a Cabinet Minister with a spare phone or ipad for this purpose? Was it beyond her to ask? Did she ask and get refused? For a ha'porth of tar...
Recommendation: anyone in high office, public or private, must be technologically literate. Otherwise creates unnecessary risk.
Lawyer & Cabinet Minister, #Braverman of all people should have realised the magnitude of her errors, but #Sunak, even more so, in reappointing her.
