BRAVO BRAVERMAN
AMID demands for a full inquiry into the extent of the home secretary's "multiple and serious" security breaches and criticism over squalid conditions at Manston asylum processing centre, it has emerged that Suella Braverman has yet another major problem, as the Bar Standards Board (BSB) is quietly looking into a separate matter.
One of her learned friends has complained to the barristers' regulator that she made a
"dishonest statement out of self-interest to promote her career". It relates to revelations first made in the Eye in 2020 after the arch-Brexiteer MP for Fareham rose from relative legal obscurity to be Boris Johnson's attorney general.
Eye 1516 showed how she had puffed up her credentials to make the world believe she had a stellar legal CV. That included claiming on her No 5 Chambers website she had "contributed" to Philip Kolvin KC's arcane but authoritative text book, Gambling for Local Authorities, Licensing, Planning and Regeneration. In reality she was his gofer. Her claim has since been removed but remains available on the Wayback web archive.
The tale surfaced again in Big Issue magazine last month following Braverman's promotion to home secretary by Liz Truss in September. Kolvin was quoted saying
Braverman had made no written or editorial contribution. He added: "However, on one occasion I asked her to do some photocopying for the book, which she did."
That triggered the complaint to the BSB. But the regulator might also consider earlier self-publicity. Her MP's website previously asserted that as part of the Treasury counsel panel between 2010 and 2015, Braverman was involved "in the lengthy Guantanamo Bay Inquiry into the treatment of detainees by US and UK forces". Her name does not appear in Sir Peter Gibson's report, nor in the index of government players or lawyers. But perhaps she was one of the "80 lawyers and officials" reported by the BBC to have been asked to wade through 500,000 documents. The Westlaw legal research service's list of cases merely recorded Braverman fighting planning, customs and immigration actions between 2009 and 2014.
