The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Rishi Sunak initially declines to back Suella Braverman over speeding points allegations” – below is their description.
The Prime Minister has full confidence in Suella Braverman, Downing Street has insisted, after he declined to back the Home Secretary over her speeding fines at a press conference.
It was reported on Saturday that Braverman had asked civil servants to help her avoid getting points on her license for speeding, in what Labour say would be a breach of the ministerial code.
Speaking in Hiroshima, where he has been attending a G7 summit, Rishi Sunak said: “I don’t know the full details of what has happened nor have I spoken to the Home Secretary.”
He said he would look into the details of the claims before commenting further.
However, a No 10 spokeswoman later insisted he does “of course” have full confidence in his Home Secretary, responding to a message: “Yes, he does.”
