Suella Braverman has reacted to a photo in which she was pictured standing on a guide dog’s tail at the Tory party conference.

The Home Secretary issued an “apology to all dogs” after she took to the stage at a Blue Collar Conservatism reception on Tuesday (3 October).

Ms Braverman was pictured with her foot on a guide dog’s tail.

The dog, named Inca, was at the conference with Guide Dogs UK, who are campaigning for a ban on pavement parking.

“I don’t think any dogs were harmed in the filming of my visit,” Ms Braverman said.

    As a foreign observer, the UK seems to have seen the clown show going on in the “United” States and decided they want in on the ridiculousness. It’s a sad time to be alive.

          They are saying that ascribing what’s been happening in politics for thousands of years to the copying of those from a country that has existed for all of 20 seconds is exceptionalist.

              Compared with the US, a lot more countries than just England are old as fuck, bit of a random one to bring up. But regardless, as the other commenter said: it’s still exceptionalism.

              E: just saw your other comment. “obviously talking about since 2015/16”… are you 12 or is that all the world history you can recall?

                And no, it’s not exceptionalism. The US has dominated headlines about being a political shit storm not seen in ages since 2015/2016. I am not American and get equal US/UK news in all my media.

                If you guys want the claim being the most fucked up go right ahead and claim it baby. I seriously don’t care, but don’t assign meaning to my words.

                  “No, it’s not about exceptionalism, here’s how it’s about exceptionalism.”

                  Brilliant.

      As usual the difference between the US and UK is that the US clown show is over the top and overstated all-signing-all-dancing slapstick, while the UK clown show is the kind of cringe delivered entirely deadpan that you watch through your fingers because it’s too embarrassing to watch any other way, and that we will nervously laugh at the next day while wondering just how badly we’ll feel the consequences.

      But they both do the job of totally fucking everyone but their donors over.
