Suella Braverman has reacted to a photo in which she was pictured standing on a guide dog’s tail at the Tory party conference.
The Home Secretary issued an “apology to all dogs” after she took to the stage at a Blue Collar Conservatism reception on Tuesday (3 October).
Ms Braverman was pictured with her foot on a guide dog’s tail.
The dog, named Inca, was at the conference with Guide Dogs UK, who are campaigning for a ban on pavement parking.
“I don’t think any dogs were harmed in the filming of my visit,” Ms Braverman said.
TIL - it’s legal to park on pavements
In most of the UK yes, subject to local council byelaws - eg. locally the rule is if you can’t get a wheelchair past, you get a ticket (although enforcement is basically non-existent).
In London it is actually illegal.
