 "Delivering a speech in Washington DC, [Braverman]... spoke of the UK’s resources being stretched thin... due to “high birth rates among foreign-born mothers”.

"She also highlighted “threats to public safety”, noting “heightened levels of criminality connected to some small-boat arrivals”."

“If cultural change is too rapid and too big, then what was already there is diluted. Eventually it will disappear.”

This is Powellite racism. Pure and simple.

After the Linaker controversy, she must know that this language is reminiscent of 'that used by Germany in the 1930s'.  Her speech writers, civil servants - those around her - must also surely  have alerted her to this.
So the invocation of fascism must be conscious, deliberate, planned.
