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.

      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.
