🧵1/5
Let's be real @yvettecooper and @UKLabour and they're friends in the mainstream media are only doggedly attacking @SuellaBraverman because #Labour are incredibly vulnerable on the issue of immigration and migrant crossings.
That's what this is really about
🧵2/5 @UKLabour and @Keir_Starmer have made incredible strides into the #RedWall, many thought #Starmer would struggle - mainly helped by Tory incompetence on the economy. Yet on immigration in this region, #Labour are seen as weak, especially on the crossings
🧵3/5
All it would take is a regular campaign to equate @UKLabour to the illegal crossings, say a leaflet drop with the phrase "would you trust this woman to stop these boats" with pictures of the boats and @YvetteCooperMP,
She's already seen as soft touch remoaner.
🧵4/5 @SuellaBraverman speaks the language, especially in the #RedWall, when it comes to immigration. @UKLabour regularly tear themselves apart on this issue, often very brutally and on full display - see Rwanda/deportation flight fallout. Not a good look for a Gov in waiting
🧵 5/5 @UKLabour strategist know they're vulnerable so are doing everything they can to get a weaker Home Secretary in place. @SuellaBraverman is a dogged politician and believes in tackling this issue, she has to go for @UKLabour to win and that's why this drama is occuring
