The home secretary is appealing to a specific chunk of the electorate and of her party. She knows the next Conservative leadership race is likely to be fought on the right.
For Suella Braverman, there is no such thing as a quiet trip abroad. Once again her language is attracting attention, her words heard well beyond the shores of Samos in Greece. On a trip to talk about immigration, the questions following her are about pro-Palestinian protests and her claim homeless people pitching tents are making a 'lifestyle choice'. Speaking exclusively to Sky News, she said she has a 'thick skin' when it comes to criticism.
She believes the UK can 'learn' from Greek deterrence methods on immigration. The Greeks have gone from nearly a million small boat crossings in 2015 to 12,700 last year - a lower number than in the UK. But Greece has also been accused of controversial 'pushback' tactics at sea - and charities say they have evidence of strip searches and beatings at the Greek border. Suella Braverman insists pushbacks are not the UK approach, but 'tough' deterrents must be looked at.
