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.

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

Although she did later eat a puppy for lunch. Which didn’t get in the top ten of the worst things she did that day.

  Yeesh. Saying nothing at all would have been better than trying to make a joke of it.

  I hear she hates her immigrant parents, Jewish husband, and herself for not being white.

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.

    Are you honestly comparing the governing of today to the past 100 years…?

  As usual the difference between the US 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 the same 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.

Some of this reads like satire, absolutely bizarre, much like most of the things coming out of this conference.

  In most of the UK yes, subject to local council byelaws - eg. locally the rule is if you can’t get a wheelchair past, you get a ticket.
  
  In London it is actually illegal.
