ROAD RAGE

HERE WE GO AGAIN.. ONE LAW FOR THEM | Braverman’s team told us last month speeding fine was scurrilous rumour

- JOHN STEVENS

SUELLA Braverman is under pressure to resign today as the Mirror reveals that her team last month denied she had received a speeding ticket.

The Home Secretary was fined and given points on her licence after she was caught driving too fast last summer.

But Mrs Braverman's aide insisted this was not true when the Daily Mirror contacted the minister six weeks ago about the offence.

The Conservative special adviser denied FOUR TIMES that the Home Secretary had been rapped for speeding and claimed it was "nonsense".

Instead the official suggested someone was spreading "scurrilous" rumours about her.

Mrs Braverman yesterday finally admitted she had been caught speeding after it was claimed she had asked civil servants to help her avoid a fine and points by arranging a private one-to-one driving awareness course.

Labour has demanded an urgent investigation into the Home Secretary, who is the Cabinet minister in charge of law and order.

The revelation that Mrs Braverman's aide supplied incorrect information will fuel calls for the Prime Minister to order an inquiry into the debacle.
