Michael Gove – 2022 Comments on Suella Braverman

The comments made by Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, speaking on Sophy Ridge on Sunday on 30 October 2022.

We take security issues incredibly seriously, that’s why I have to be cautious in responding to the point that you’ve understandably made about Liz’s [Liz Truss, former Prime Minister] phone. It’s because we take them seriously that we have strict protocols in place that govern how information should be shared and with whom it should be shared.

Suella is a first rate front rank politician and she acknowledged that she made a mistake had been made. She is working hard in order to ensure that our borders can be made more secure and that policing is more effective. She’s a valued member of the Cabinet and someone whom I admire.
