It is absolutely time for Suella Braverman to finally resign - and this time resign for good. If you agree with this, please do retweet and mount further pressure on the worst Home Secretary to have ever served this country. It really is time for @SuellaBraverman to go. 13/13

10 years of LASPO has driven a wrecking ball through the lives of some of the poorest and most vulnerable in society, reinforcing the perception that justice is only for the wealthy and there is one rule for them (sound familiar?).

Both victims and suspects will suffer as a result so these issues matter to all 👇
