Suella Braverman has backed up her controversial comments that living in a tent is a ‘lifestyle choice’, during a new interview.

The home secretary caused a stir when she tweeted that streets were being taken over ‘by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice’.

In new clips from Sky News, she appears to defend her remarks, adding: “With it has brought drug use, criminality, and anti-social behaviour.”
