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.

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.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
