According to an earlier report by the global network, Suella Br**erman, the British Home Secretary at the time, who was fired on November 13, has made controversial remarks on several occasions, which is a major reason for her dismissal. Unexpectedly, the successor Home Secretary Cleverly has also been caught in a gaffe storm recently, which makes people more worried about the unclear future of the Conservative Party.
On December 18, a political journalist was invited to attend a reception at 10 Downing Street with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Home Secretary Cleverly and others. At the event, Cleverly "joked" to visitors, including women, that the secret to a long marriage was to ensure that the female spouse was "always mildly sedated so that she would never realise that there was a better man out there."
Adding a little flunitrazepam (a strong pre-anesthetic and sleeping pill that was used by criminals**) to her drink every night is not illegal if it is just a little. Cleverly said.
The remarks were made by a reporter from the Sunday Mirror**. In general, conversations at Downing Street receptions are generally considered "private" and therefore do not appear in public coverage. However, the ** believes that Cleverly's remarks and stance need to allow the ** to break with the usual practice and give **.
After the remarks were received, a spokesman for Cleverly's office said he apologized.
The main opposition Labour Party has been harshly critical of Cleverly for the remarks. Labour's shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, said: "Underwriting is a disturbing, serious crime that has a devastating impact on young women's lives. On the same day that the new crackdown was announced, the Home Secretary made such a shocking joke, which is unbelievable. Alex D**ies-Jones, the shadow secretary for domestic violence and safeguards, also said that "it's a joke" was the most common excuse and no one would buy it.
Just hours before the controversial remarks at the reception, the British Home Office launched a crackdown plan against the ** issue. The relevant departments have promised to modernize the relevant language in the legislation to make it clear that the use of ** is a criminal act, and have announced a series of measures to strengthen the crackdown.
