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.
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.
